Glass Animals’ ‘Heat Wave’ Rises to a New Chart High, Thwarted Only by ‘Bruno’
22.02.2022 - 22:37 / variety.com
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. Meanwhile, there’s another possible contender for the top spot on the rise: Gayle’s “abcdefu” is gaining momentum and moves up three spots to No.
4 this week.But back to “Heat Wave.” According to Billboard, Glass Animals’ song broke the record for the longest climb into the top two spots on the Hot 100, although it depends how you’re counting. Now in second place for that particular honor, Billboard says, is Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which spent 35 weeks on the chart before cracking the top two.

Mariah Carey to face defamation accusations from her brother over memoir claims
Mariah Carey must face accusations that she defamed her brother in her memoir, a judge ruled earlier this week (February 15).Last year, Carey’s older brother sued the singer for defamation and emotional distress which he alleges was caused by her best-selling autobiography, The Meaning Of Mariah Carey.Carey’s brother claims to have suffered “extreme mental anguish” and “serious damage to his reputation” as a result of the book.While the judge did dismiss numerous allegations made by her brother relating to several passages in the book, she did rule that Morgan Carey could sue his sister for defamation over two passages that claimed he had sold drugs and had “been in the system”.In her decision, Justice Barbara Jaffe wrote: “Although Carey maintains that the phrase ‘sometimes drug dealing’ is a ‘rhetorical epithet,’ in light of the earlier statement that plaintiff had supplied clubgoers with ‘powdered party favours,’ the average reader could understand this phrase to mean that plaintiff had committed a serious crime.”She continued: “The context reasonably permits an average reader to conclude that Carey refers in this statement to cocaine, which is a controlled substance, the possession and/or sale of which is proscribed by New York law…It thus implies that plaintiff committed a serious crime and is sufficient to support [an] action for defamation per se.”A solicitor said Morgan was “pleased” by the judge’s decision. NME has reached out to representatives of Mariah Carey for comment.
