Taylor Swift’s “august” peaked at number 46 on the Billboard Global 200.
The Billboard Global 200 ranks songs using streaming and sales activity from more than 200 territories worldwide. “August” became a seasonal success rather than an immediate conventional chart-topping single. Its recurring popularity around the month named in its title helped it return to public attention years after Folklore’s release.
The song also reached the top 40 in several national charts, including Australia, Canada, Ireland, Malaysia, Singapore, and the United States. Those results show how a track can have a durable, internationally recognizable identity without reaching number one on the largest global chart.
The annual August trend can make the song feel like a chart leader, especially when fans share it heavily on August 1. That cultural visibility should not be confused with its Billboard Global 200 peak, which was number 46.
