One of the band&#8217;s three entries in the countdown, including Tangerine (#18) and Your Love (#51), it also marks the first time the band has reached top 10 in the countdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 6 months after the tracks release, it continues to hit new peaks across all charts. &#8216;Heat Waves&#8217; has become the groups highest charting ARIA single, growing to #11 last week, overtaking the bands 2014 hit &#8216;Gooey&#8217;. &#8216;Heat Waves&#8217; has also hit new chart peaks on Spotify, climbing to #2, and Apple, hitting #1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bursting with all the wonderful tricks that we have come to expect from Glass Animals&#8217; frontman and producer Dave Bayley, &#8216;Heat Waves&#8217; is an introspective summer hit. A scorching, bass-heavy pop-trip, &#8216;Heat Waves&#8217; is a distorted Glass Animals love song, exploring how relationships can blur your personality and change you in ways you don&#8217;t realise until you take a step back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The track is taken from &#8216;Dreamland&#8217;, the band&#8217;s most successful album to-date which peaked at #6 on the ARIA Albums Charts. Fundamentally a nostalgic memoir of his life so far, &#8216;Dreamland&#8217; finds Bayley covering expansive and difficult ground. As a result, the album is packed full of intensely sensitive and personal experiences, none more emotional than when the bands drummer Joe Seaward was involved in a bike accident in July 2018 which threatened his life, and that of Glass Animals altogether. Born at a time of immense confusion and uncertainty for the band, it&#8217;s an album that arrived at the perfect time in 2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GLASS ANIMALS TAKE OUT TOP SPOT IN TRIPLE J&#8217;S HOTTEST 100 WITH &#8216;HEAT WAVES&#8217; UK psych-pop outfit Glass Animals have taken out top spot in Triple J&#8217;s Hottest 100 countdown with their hit single &#8216;Heat Waves&#8217;.
