Glass Animals’ ‘Heat Wave’ Rises to a New Chart High, Thwarted Only by ‘Bruno’

Chris Willman Music WriterThe heat is still on for Glass Animals, whose “Heat Wave” may not yet have crested. The longest-simmering slow riser in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, “Heat Wave” reaches a new high this week of No.

2, in its 57th week on the chart.Is it burning bright enough to finally fulfill its seeming destiny and reach No. 1 after a year-plus of being on the rise?

Maybe, but it stands to be thwarted by something the band might rather not talk about: “Bruno.”The smash single from the “Encanto” soundtrack, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” remains on top for a fourth week and may not budge so easily.

Streaming and track sales are finally both slipping for the Disney song, yet its radio spins are increasing, so it’s hard to tell whether the song could loose its grip in the coming weeks.
