Taylor Swift’s “august” reached number 46 on the Billboard Global 200.
The global peak came after the song developed a recurring August resurgence. Its streaming activity increased each year around the month named in the title, allowing the album track to reappear on charts beyond its original 2020 release period.
This number is distinct from the track’s US Billboard Hot 100 peak of number 23 and its number-five peak on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs. It is also different from the United Kingdom peak of number 78 reported during a later chart appearance.
The Global 200 result helps explain why “august” became more than a fan favorite. Its seasonal listening pattern crossed national boundaries, while its fictional late-summer story gave listeners a natural reason to revisit it at the same time every year.
