GTA 6 Trailer 2 Boosts Pointer Sisters' Song on Spotify

The Pointer Sisters' "Hot Together" has experienced a monumental surge in Spotify streams after being featured in the newly released trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, which premiered just yesterday. In the mere two hours following the trailer's debut, global Spotify streams for the 1986 hit skyrocketed by an astounding 182,000%. Although Spotify's numbers haven't been updated since yesterday, "Hot Together" currently stands at just over 250,000 streams, a figure poised for significant growth 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."

It's been 24 hours since Rockstar Games unveiled the latest trailer for GTA 6, which 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 a testament to the trailer's impact, yet it's not an unexpected outcome. 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 similarly massive boost in Spotify streams. This popularity spurred fans to craft various theories about how it might connect to GTA 6’s story, though no such speculation has surfaced for "Hot Together" – at least not yet.

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 in the interim. In the meantime, you can explore some of the best Trailer 2 fan theories we’ve seen so far, as well as our detailed list of 89 details Rockstar tucked into the video.
