USA Top 40, 4.16.21: Glass Animals, ‘Heat Waves’ celebrate 1-year on the chart with 11th week at No. 1

Few songs have been as dominant in recent memory as “Heat Waves” by Glass Animals. This week marked the song’s one-year anniversary on the chart, and it also marked its 11th consecutive week at No. 1. “Heat Waves” has been in the Top Ten for 23 straight weeks, and it’s unlikely to leave in the near future, even if it is unseated by Harry Styles’ “As It Was,” which rocketed onto the chart at No. 3. Imagine Dragons’ “Enemy” jumped to No. 2, while “Stay” by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber and “Big Energy” by Latto filled out the remainder of the Top Five.

Here is the updated chart for the week of April 16, 2022. Each song is linked to its official video on YouTube, where possible. To listen to the full playlist of these songs, visit our page on Spotify.
