Malaysia gave Taylor Swift’s “august” its highest original-release peak among Australia, Canada, Malaysia, and Singapore, reaching number 11.
The song also performed strongly in the other listed markets: it peaked at number 13 in Australia, number 19 in Canada, and number 12 in Singapore. These figures come from the track’s 2020 chart activity following Folklore’s release.
The question specifies the original-release period because “august” later appeared on additional country charts during its annual revival. Later peaks, including a number 7 position in the Philippines in 2022, belong to a different phase of the song’s chart history.
The Malaysian result illustrates how the song’s appeal extended beyond the United States. Its yearly August streaming pattern has also helped introduce the track to listeners who discovered it well after Folklore first arrived.
