Malaysia gave Taylor Swift’s “august” its highest initial top-20 chart peak, at number 11.
Upon Folklore’s release, the song reached the top 20 in several countries. It peaked at number 11 in Malaysia, number 12 in Singapore, number 13 in Australia, and number 16 in Canada.
These positions describe the song’s original chart performance, not later seasonal reappearances. In subsequent years, “august” gained additional attention in other markets as listeners streamed it during the month named in its title.
Malaysia is also distinct from the song’s later global-chart story. The track eventually reached number 46 on the Billboard Global 200, a worldwide ranking rather than a single-country chart.
