The Pointer Sisters' "Hot Together" has experienced a monumental surge in Spotify streams after its inclusion in the new Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, which debuted just yesterday.
In the mere two hours following the trailer's premiere, global Spotify streams for the 1986 hit skyrocketed by an astonishing 182,000%. Although Spotify's numbers have not been updated since yesterday, "Hot Together" currently stands at just over 250,000 streams. It's anticipated that these figures will see a significant increase in the coming days.
"Grand Theft Auto cuts through popular culture like almost nothing else," remarked Sulinna Ong, Spotify's Global Head of Editorial. "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."
