What was the peak Global 200 position for Taylor Swift’s “august” during its annual August revival?

The story behind the answer

Taylor Swift’s “august” reached number 46 on the Billboard Global 200.

This peak came after the song developed a recurring seasonal resurgence. The Global 200 measures songs from around the world using streaming and sales data, so the result reflects international listening rather than only US activity.

The track’s original 2020 release produced strong chart results in several countries, but its later annual return became one of its defining features. Each August, listeners revisit the song because its title, lyrics, and late-summer setting align so closely with the calendar.

The Global 200 peak should not be confused with the original US Hot 100 peak of number 23 or the later UK peak of number 78. These are separate charts, measured in different markets and periods.
