A Revitalized Classic: The Pointer Sisters' "Hot Together" Storming Spotify After "GTA 6" Trailer Unveiling
Track by Pointer Sisters stirs controversy on Spotify streaming platform - Spotify welcomes The Pointer Sisters to its music platform
Hey there! You've probably heard of The Pointer Sisters and their hits like "Jump (For My Love)" and "I'm So Excited." Today, we're talking about another one of their tunes that's seeing a resurgence thanks to the new trailer for the highly-anticipated game, "Grand Theft Auto 6."
"Hot Together," an '80s gem, is making waves on Spotify following the trailer release on Wednesday. While not as popular as their other tracks, gamers are clearly digging it! According to "The Hollywood Reporter," there's been a mind-blowing 182,000% surge in playtime in just a few hours.
As quoted by "IGN," a representative from the gaming sphere said, "Grand Theft Auto traverses popular culture like few others. Music has always been closely associated with the series since its inception, so it's fantastic to see both new and devoted fans reconnecting with a timeless song in this manner."
Sadly, none of the original members of the band can experience this comeback. June Pointer passed away in 2006, and her sisters Bonnie and Anita followed in 2020 and 2022, respectively. However, Ruth Pointer, the eldest Sister, has been a part of the band since 1972 and continues to perform today. She's currently joined by her daughter, Issa, since 2002, and her great-niece, Sadako Pointer Johnson, since 2009, as the revamped Pointer Sisters.
Millions Falling for the New "GTA 6" Teaser
The latest teaser for "GTA 6" by Rockstar Games has been a smash hit, amassing over 85 million views on YouTube alone (as of May 8, 12:00 PM). As per "The Hollywood Reporter," the overall number of views across all platforms already hits around 500 million.
The frenzy around the new edition of the expansive open-world game series remains strong, even (or perhaps because of) the delayed release. Originally slated for 2025, the new release date is now May 26, 2026.
So, there you have it! Get ready to groove to "Hot Together" by The Pointer Sisters on Spotify, and gear up for the new world of "Grand Theft Auto 6." Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting story!
