The Pointer Sisters' track "Hot Together" has experienced a phenomenal surge in Spotify streams, skyrocketing by an astonishing 182,000% within just two hours of its feature in the newly released trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6. The trailer, unveiled only yesterday, has already garnered an impressive 77.7 million views on YouTube, highlighting the immense anticipation surrounding the game.
Despite the surge, Spotify's latest figures show "Hot Together" holding steady at just over 250,000 streams, but these numbers are expected to climb significantly in the coming days. Sulinna Ong, Spotify’s Global Head of Editorial, emphasized the cultural impact of the Grand Theft Auto series, stating, “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.”
The success of "Hot Together" mirrors the trajectory of Tom Petty's "Love Is A Long Road," which saw a similar boost after its inclusion in the first trailer for GTA 6 in late 2023. That song's popularity sparked numerous fan theories about its relevance to the game's narrative, although "Hot Together" has yet to inspire such speculation.
As fans eagerly await the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, now scheduled for May 26, 2026, they can enjoy the musical selections provided by Rockstar Games. In the meantime, enthusiasts can delve into some of the most intriguing fan theories about the second trailer and explore the 89 hidden details that Rockstar cleverly embedded within the video.
