GTA 6 Trailer 2 Boosts The Pointer Sisters' "Hot Together" on Spotify

The Pointer Sisters' classic track "Hot Together" has experienced a phenomenal surge in Spotify streams after its feature in the newly released trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, which debuted just yesterday. In a mere two hours post-trailer premiere, the 1986 hit witnessed an astonishing 182,000% increase in global streams on Spotify. Although the latest numbers have not been updated since yesterday, with "Hot Together" still hovering just above 250,000 streams, it's clear that this figure is set to climb significantly in the coming days.

Commenting on the impact of the trailer, Spotify's Global Head of Editorial, Sulinna Ong, remarked, "Grand Theft Auto cuts through popular culture like almost nothing else. Music has been synonymous with the series since the very beginning, so it’s great to see fans both new and established connecting with an iconic track in this way."

It's been 24 hours since Rockstar Games unveiled their latest glimpse into GTA 6, and the trailer has already amassed an impressive 77.7 million views on YouTube by the time of this report. The resurgence of "Hot Together" is remarkable yet not unexpected. When the first trailer for Rockstar's latest project was revealed in late 2023, featuring Tom Petty’s "Love Is A Long Road," it too saw a similarly massive boost in Spotify streams. This surge sparked a wave of fan theories speculating on its connection to GTA 6’s storyline, though no such speculation has yet surfaced for "Hot Together."

As fans eagerly await the (recently delayed) release of GTA 6, scheduled for May 26, 2026, Rockstar is keeping them engaged with compelling music selections.
