Which chart gave Taylor Swift’s “august” a number-46 peak during its later seasonal resurgence?

The Billboard Global 200 gave Taylor Swift’s “august” a number-46 peak during its later seasonal resurgence.

The track originally appeared on Folklore in 2020, but its yearly August revival brought renewed streams and later chart activity. In 2023, the song reached number 46 on the Billboard Global 200, a chart that ranks songs using streaming and sales data from more than one country and territory.

That result differs from the song’s original U.S. Hot 100 debut at number 23 and its number-five peak on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs. The charts measure different markets and categories, so their numbers should not be treated as interchangeable.

The Global 200 peak is one sign of the annual August trend becoming an international phenomenon. Fans in different countries use the track for seasonal posts and playlists, allowing a song centered on a fictional American teenage romance to return globally each year.
