Which country gave Taylor Swift’s “august” its number-seven chart peak in 2022?

The Philippines gave Taylor Swift’s “august” a number-seven chart peak in 2022.

That ranking came after the song had already become associated with the month of August and recurring online listening. Its renewed popularity illustrates how songs can gain chart momentum long after their original album release, especially when social platforms create seasonal listening habits.

“August” also charted strongly in several other countries. It reached number 11 in Malaysia, number 12 in Singapore, number 13 in Australia, and number 16 in Canada upon release. These figures are easy to mix up because they are all relatively high, but the number-seven peak belongs specifically to the Philippines in 2022.

The song’s chart story is unusual because it was an album track rather than a conventional single. Its title, memorable chorus, and annual late-summer trend gave it a recurring cultural moment that helped distinguish it from many other Folklore tracks.
