The Pointer Sisters' hit song "Hot Together" has experienced an enormous surge in Spotify streams after being featured in yesterday's premiere of the new Grand Theft Auto VI trailer.

Within just two hours following the trailer debut, global Spotify plays for this 1986 classic skyrocketed by an astonishing 182,000%. While current figures still show around 250,000 streams, this count hasn't updated since yesterday and is expected to climb dramatically.

"Few franchises impact pop culture like Grand Theft Auto," commented Spotify's Global Head of Editorial Sulinna Ong. "Music has always been integral to this series, and it's thrilling to witness both longstanding fans and newcomers rediscovering this legendary track."

Twenty-four hours after Rockstar Games unveiled their latest GTA VI preview, the trailer has already amassed 77.7 million YouTube views. While "Hot Together's" sudden resurgence is impressive, it's hardly surprising. When Rockstar's previous trailer launched in late 2023 featuring Tom Petty's "Love Is A Long Road", the track saw comparable streaming spikes. That song inspired such fervor among gamers that many developed elaborate theories about its potential story connections - though similar speculation hasn't emerged yet for "Hot Together".

Rockstar continues delivering excellent musical selections to fans awaiting the (recently postponed) GTA VI launch on May 26, 2026. In the meantime, explore the most compelling fan theories about Trailer 2 and our breakdown of 89 hidden details Rockstar included.
