"Heat Waves" by Glass Animals is now the only song to spend 91 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100's chart in its 64-year history. "Heat Waves" surpasses The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" (in 2019–21), which has held the record since August 2021.

Glass Animals frontman Dave Bayley was in awe of the accomplishment of the band and told Billboard, "Wow, all I can say is wow. Many of you know when I wrote this song, I was writing about missing someone I loved very dearly. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that it would lead to so much love and connection across the globe.”
