"Hot Love" is a song by English glam rock band T. Rex, released as a standalone single on 12 February 1971 by record label Fly. It was the group's first number one placing on the UK Singles Chart, where it remained at the top for six weeks beginning on 14 March 1971.[2]
It also charted in Australia at #4, spending 24 weeks on the KMR charts,[3] entering on the 19th April 1971.
The two performances of the song on Top of the Pops in March 1971, which saw Marc Bolan dressed for the first time on television in shiny satin stagewear and glittery make-up (the latter at the suggestion of his stylist Chelita Secunda) were a crucial trigger for the glam rock movement.[4] In a UK poll in 2015 it was voted eleventh on the ITV special The Nation's Favourite 70s Number One.[5]
