Even if EA has bad servers and delivers poor gameplay, you have to hand it to them: they use absolute top hits for their games every year. Especially for FIFA, EA always meets the taste of the community in their song selection. Here are all FIFA 22 songs at a glance.
Heat Waves By Glass Animals Is #1 In The Charts
EA is known for its good music selection. The FIFA songs run up and down with me, the list with good FIFA songs goes back years. But with the British band Glass Animals and their hit "Heat Waves", EA has eclipsed all FIFA songs used until then. Heat Waves has been on the global charts for 60 weeks and has been the #1 most streamed Spotify song in the world for more than a month. At billboard.com, the song is also #1 on "The Hot 100" chart. No other song in the world comes close to Heat Waves in terms of downloads either. But why is the song so successful?

So, you pick up your controller, fire up FIFA 21, and Heat Waves blares straight into your brain through your headset. The song was known to a wide audience and gradually made its way into the charts.
