The Pointer Sisters' track "Hot Together" has experienced a monumental surge in Spotify streams, skyrocketing by 182,000% within just two hours of its feature in the newly released trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6. This trailer, which debuted only yesterday, has already garnered an astonishing 77.7 million views on YouTube, highlighting the immense popularity and cultural impact of the GTA series.
As of the latest update, "Hot Together" boasts over 250,000 streams on Spotify, a figure expected to rise significantly in the coming days. Sulinna Ong, Spotify's Global Head of Editorial, remarked 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."

While no such theories have yet emerged for "Hot Together," the anticipation surrounding GTA 6 continues to fuel interest and speculation.
As fans eagerly await the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, now set for May 26, 2026, after a recent delay, they can delve into some of the best fan theories about Trailer 2 and explore the 89 intricate details Rockstar Games has hidden within the video.
