Taylor Swift’s “august” peaked at No. 46 on the Billboard Global 200.
The Billboard Global 200 ranks songs using worldwide streaming and sales data. “august” became a seasonal success, with its popularity returning around August each year even though it was originally released as an album track.
The song also reached the top 40 in several national or regional charts, including Australia, Canada, Ireland, Malaysia, Singapore, and the United States. Those results show how its recurring seasonal attention translated into measurable chart activity.
Its chart performance is easy to confuse with the results of other Folklore songs, especially “Cardigan,” which had a stronger initial chart position. “august” nevertheless became one of the album’s most recognizable tracks.
