Glass Animals have smashed a US chart record as their viral smash hit Heat Waves ascends into the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 for the first time this week.

The Oxfordshire-based band have reached worldwide commercial success with the fourth single from their third album Dreamland, after the track initially gained traction through TikTok.

Now, according to Billboard, Heat Waves has completed the longest climb to the Top 10 in US chart history, taking a total of 42 weeks.

It's also the band's first US Top 10 single, as well as their first song to ever chart on the Hot 100. It beats out the previous record-holder - American Idol winner Carrie Underwood's Before He Cheats - which took 38 weeks to crack the Top 10.
