Oxford quartet’s single Heat Waves continues its remarkable slow-burn success since being released in June 2020
Glass Animals have become the first
British band to top the daily global Spotify streaming charts, with their single Heat Waves currently amassing 4.26m plays a day on the platform.
The milestone comes 10 years into the band’s career and their song is the definition of a slow-burn hit: originally released in June 2020, it took until October that year to sneak into the lower reaches of the official
UK chart. It finally entered the Top 40 in February 2021, and by October it had made its way into the Top 5.
