What was Taylor Swift’s peak position in Australia for “august”?

Taylor Swift’s “august” peaked at number 13 on Australia’s ARIA singles chart.

The Australian result came during the initial chart impact of Folklore in 2020. Because the album generated substantial listening across its track list, “august” charted internationally even without being released as a conventional standalone single beforehand.

Australia was one of several countries where the song reached the top 40. Its seasonal identity later gave it an additional association with August listening, although Australia’s August occurs during winter rather than the Northern Hemisphere’s summer.

This geographic detail is an easy source of confusion. The song’s story describes a summer romance, but its title and annual fan trend are tied to the month itself. The Australian chart peak remains a fixed historical result from the song’s original chart cycle.
