Australia awarded Taylor Swift’s “august” a four-times-platinum certification.
The certification table for the song lists Australia at 4× Platinum, representing 280,000 certified units under the Australian recording industry’s system. This is distinct from the song’s certifications in other countries.
For comparison, the same table lists New Zealand at 3× Platinum, Brazil at 2× Platinum, and Denmark, France, and Italy at Gold. Those different awards reflect each country’s own certification rules and thresholds.
The Australian result is also consistent with the song’s international chart reach: “august” peaked at No. 13 on Australia’s chart. Certification and chart position measure different things, however, so the four-times-platinum award should not be mistaken for a peak ranking.
