Malaysia gave Taylor Swift’s “august” its highest original-release chart peak outside the United States, at number 11.
On its original 2020–2021 chart run, the song peaked at number 11 in Malaysia. It also reached number 12 in Singapore, number 13 in Australia, and number 19 on Canada’s Hot 100, so Malaysia was the highest among those international markets listed in the song’s chart table.
The result can be confusing because “august” later achieved additional peaks during its annual seasonal revival. In 2022, it appeared on charts in countries including the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam, while also setting newer peaks in Ireland and the United Kingdom.
The question specifies the original-release run to separate Malaysia’s number 11 peak from those later chart appearances. It also excludes the United States, where the song performed differently on several Billboard charts.
