my phone wont turn on after charging

MY Samsung Galaxy S4 wont turn on after charging it last night. it was red hot when I picked it up and had no LED lights whilst still connected to the charger, ive ordered a new battery is this likely to be the problem? has anyone else has a similar experience?

Welcome to Android Central! Overheating can be a bad sign--it could mean the battery failed, or perhaps a more serious problem with the phone's motherboard. The first step is to try a new battery, so let us know how that goes.
