The Pointer Sisters’ track "Hot Together" has experienced a monumental surge in Spotify streams following its feature in the newly released trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, which debuted just yesterday. In the mere two hours after the trailer's premiere, global Spotify streams for the 1986 hit skyrocketed by an astonishing 182,000%. Although Spotify's numbers haven't been updated since, "Hot Together" currently stands at just over 250,000 streams, with expectations that this figure will see a significant increase soon.
“Grand Theft Auto cuts through popular culture like almost nothing else,” remarked Sulinna Ong, Spotify’s Global Head of Editorial. “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 its latest glimpse of GTA 6, and the trailer has already amassed an impressive 77.7 million views on YouTube at the time of this article’s publication. The surge in popularity for "Hot Together" is remarkable yet unsurprising. When the first trailer for Rockstar's latest game was revealed in late 2023, featuring Tom Petty’s "Love Is A Long Road," it too experienced a massive boost in Spotify streams. This led to a wave of fan theories about its connection to GTA 6’s storyline, although no similar theories have yet surfaced for "Hot Together."As fans eagerly await the (recently delayed) release of GTA 6 on May 26, 2026, Rockstar is providing them with plenty of great music to enjoy.
