Malaysia gave Taylor Swift’s “august” its highest initial peak among Australia, Canada, Malaysia, and Singapore, where it reached number 11.
The song’s initial international chart peaks included number 13 in Australia, number 19 in Canada, number 11 in Malaysia, and number 12 in Singapore. Because lower chart numbers indicate higher positions, Malaysia was the strongest result among those four countries.
These figures describe the song’s chart performance around the 2020 release of Folklore. They are different from later peaks achieved after the annual August resurgence. In later years, “august” reappeared on charts in additional territories and reached new positions on some existing charts.
The comparison is useful because the song’s popularity was not limited to the United States. Its atmospheric production and seasonal theme connected with listeners internationally, while recurring August interest helped extend its chart life beyond the album’s initial release period.
