Taylor Swift’s “august” reached number 38 on the Irish Singles Chart during its later resurgence.
The song originally appeared on charts after Folklore’s release in 2020, but its seasonal streaming pattern helped it return to attention each August. In 2022, it reached a new peak of number 38 in Ireland, reflecting renewed listener interest rather than a traditional single-release campaign.
Its chart story is unusual because “august” was an album track associated with a recurring online trend. TikTok users and other fans use the song to soundtrack late-summer memories, montages, and nostalgic posts, giving it a predictable annual boost.
The Irish result should not be confused with the song’s different peaks elsewhere. “august” reached number 46 on the Billboard Global 200 in 2023 and charted in several other countries, with each chart measuring a different market.
