Which country gave Taylor Swift’s “august” a No. 7 chart peak in 2022?

The story behind the answer

The Philippines gave Taylor Swift’s “august” a No. 7 chart peak in 2022.

The result came after the song’s original 2020 release and illustrates how its popularity grew through repeated seasonal listening. In the same period, “august” also charted in Indonesia and Vietnam, but its listed peak positions there were No. 17 and No. 85 respectively.

These later chart appearances are separate from the song’s original release-era peaks. On its initial run, “august” reached No. 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and placed within the top 20 in several other markets, including Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, and Canada.

The annual August trend helped give the song a recurring burst of attention. Fans and creators commonly pair it with photo dumps, travel memories, and short video montages, matching the song’s lyrics about memories and a fleeting summer romance.
