Taylor Swift’s “august” peaked at No. 13 on the Australian singles chart.
The song reached that position in Australia upon its original release period in 2020. It also entered the top 20 in several other countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, and Canada, demonstrating that its appeal extended beyond the United States.
The Australian No. 13 peak is separate from the song’s US Hot 100 peak of No. 23 and its Hot Rock & Alternative Songs peak of No. 5. Chart positions cannot be compared without considering which country or chart is being used.
The track later gained additional attention through its annual August streaming resurgence. Its international chart history and recurring seasonal popularity show two different kinds of success: an immediate global reception in 2020 and a repeated cultural return every August.
