I've been wondering when this song would inevitably get picked up by pop radio. Glad to see it's going for adds soon. This song still has lots of room to grow on me, but it's always cool to see Alternative acts crossing over, especially when they're not AJR.

"Heat Waves" isn't among their best but it would be so cool to see Glass Animals cross over!

All the way up at number 2 in Australia due to the Triple J Hottest 100. I think this could really have a shot at becoming a hit worldwide.

Already an alternative hit, could become a Pop crossover like ATL's Monsters.

Already an alternative hit, could become a Pop crossover like ATL's Monsters. Monsters doesnβt have the streaming that Heat Waves does so once Heat Waves goes for adds, Iβm fully expecting it to leapfrog ATL on the charts. Itβd be cool if they both got really big though.

Huh, maybe they're waiting for it to hit #1 on alt or something? I don't see a particular reason for that, but oh well

Now that they've announced an HAC adds date for it (February 22) maybe they want to have it moving up on another format (for convincing stations to pick the song up) before pushing it to pop?

I've been a fan of theirs for all their albums, but this song was really ??? to me; can't believe it's now their biggest Alt hit too, but like other posters have said, a return to Alt crossovers would be more than welcome. Bastille's Survivin' probably would've done better Pop if it had done better at Alt. I think Cannons, Royal & The Serpent, Grandson, and even Clairo could easily come on over; Almost Monday could be the new "Broken", and IDKHBTFM probably would've done okay too, I suppose the band's name may have been prohibitive for Tik Tok-sized Pop radio...but then, it's got a former member of Panic! At The Disco!

already shared my thoughts on this in the WTM thread but if this ends up a hit it'll probably be my least favourite of the year

I heard it on the radio twice today. It's pretty good, but I prefer "Tokyo Drifting" and "Your Love" to this.
