Blast from the Past: Pointer Sisters' "Hot Together" Takes over Spotify, Thanks to GTA 6 Trailer
Track by the Pointer Sisters stirs up Spotify playlists - The Pointer Sisters are Making a Move to Spotify
Get ready to groove to some nostalgic tunes! The favored "Jump (For My Love)" or "I'm So Excited" by '70s soul sensations The Pointer Sisters might be already known to you. But here comes a lesser-known gem, "Hot Together" (1986), moving up the charts thanks to the recently dropped trailer for the highly anticipated gaming sensation, GTA 6.
You may not have heard it for nearly four decades, but this forgotten track has found new life in the gaming universe with an extensive presence in the latest GTA 6 trailer! Since its release on Wednesday, gamers have been raving about it. A mere few hours on YouTube and other channels, and it's clear that "Hot Together" is on the rise!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Spotify has reported an astounding 182,000% surge in plays in a short period. That's not all, folks! As IGN quotes a representative of the company, "Grand Theft Auto" holds sway over popular culture like no other. Music has been the backbone of the series from the very beginning, so it's thrilling to see both new and veteran fans connecting with a classic number in such a way." Alas, none of the original Pointer Sisters can partake in this triumph, as June passed away in 2006, and her siblings Bonnie and Anita followed in 2020 and 2022. However, the group's oldest member, Ruth, who's been a constant since 1972, still grace the stage with her performances today — joined by her daughter Issa since 2002 and her great-niece Sadako Pointer Johnson since 2009.
