Latto's 'Big Energy' started with a decent 15th position on Billboard Hot 100 when it first came out on September 24, 2021. But, after the remix's release (with Mariah Carey and DJ Khaled), it gained some more energy and jumped to the top 10 positions.

'Heat Waves' maintains its last week's position at third, which is a downgrade as it peaked on the Billboard charts in March 2022, setting the record for the longest a song has taken to reach the pole position on the Hot 100.

Upon its release on April 8, 2022, the song debuted at number one on the Hot 100 in US and many other charts around the world. However, for the end of April, it dropped one position to end the month at a respectable second place.
