GTA 6 Trailer 2 Lifts Pointer Sisters' Spotify Streams

The Pointer Sisters' 1986 hit Hot Together has experienced an astronomical surge in Spotify streams after being featured in yesterday's Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer debut.

In just two hours following the trailer's premiere, global Spotify streams for the track skyrocketed by an unprecedented 182,000%. While current Spotify data still shows around 250,000 streams (likely due to delayed updates), this number is expected to grow substantially in coming reports.

"Grand Theft Auto has an unparalleled cultural impact," Spotify's Global Head of Editorial Sulinna Ong commented. "Music has always been integral to the franchise, and it's exciting to watch both new and longtime fans rediscover this classic song through the game."

As the GTA 6 trailer surpasses 77.7 million YouTube views in its first 24 hours, Hot Together's sudden resurgence comes as no surprise to industry observers. This follows established patterns - when Rockstar released its first GTA 6 teaser in late 2023 featuring Tom Petty's Love Is A Long Road, the track experienced similar streaming spikes. That song's inclusion sparked widespread gamer speculation about potential narrative connections, though no such theories have yet surfaced for Hot Together.

While waiting for GTA 6's recently postponed May 2026 launch, Rockstar continues fueling fan excitement through iconic music selections.
