The Pointer Sisters’ track "Hot Together" has experienced a remarkable surge in Spotify streams after its inclusion in the newly released trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6. The trailer, which debuted just yesterday, has propelled the 1986 song to a staggering 182,000% increase in streams within the first two hours. Although Spotify's data has not been updated since the trailer's release, "Hot Together" currently stands at over 250,000 streams, a number that is expected to rise significantly in the coming days.
Sulinna Ong, Spotify’s Global Head of Editorial, commented on the phenomenon, stating, “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.”
Since the unveiling of the GTA 6 trailer by Rockstar Games 24 hours ago, it has already amassed an impressive 77.7 million views on YouTube. The resurgence of "Hot Together" is not surprising, especially considering the precedent set by the trailer's predecessor in late 2023, which featured Tom Petty’s "Love Is A Long Road." That song also saw a massive increase in Spotify streams, sparking fan theories about its relevance to the GTA 6 storyline. While similar speculation has not yet emerged for "Hot Together," the potential for such discussions remains.As fans eagerly await the (recently delayed) release of GTA 6 on May 26, 2026, Rockstar Games continues to provide them with engaging content.
