The Pointer Sisters' classic hit "Hot Together" has experienced a phenomenal surge in Spotify streams following its inclusion in the recently released trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6. The trailer, which debuted just yesterday, has catapulted the 1986 track to new heights, with streams increasing by an astonishing 182,000% within the first two hours of the trailer's premiere. Although the latest Spotify figures show "Hot Together" at just over 250,000 streams, these numbers are 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."
