Taylor Swift’s “august” peaked at number 11 on Malaysia’s singles chart.
That result places Malaysia among the strongest chart markets for the song. The track also reached the top 20 in Singapore, Australia, and Canada upon its original release, while later August streaming surges produced additional chart activity in other countries.
The Malaysian result is especially useful for separating the song’s individual national peaks from its global ranking. Its Billboard Global 200 peak was number 46, but country charts measure performance using their own market data and reporting systems. A song can therefore rank much higher in one country than in a worldwide chart.
“august” was released in July 2020 and initially benefited from the launch of Folklore. Its continuing popularity then became seasonal: listeners often return to it at the start of August because the song’s title and story evoke the final stretch of summer. That pattern helped the track remain culturally visible long after the album’s release week.
