If the tunes "Jump (For My Love)" or "I'm So Excited" strike a familiar chord, you're probably no stranger to the legendary soul band The Pointer Sisters. Fueled by the most recent trailer for the highly anticipated "Grand Theft Auto 6" (GTA 6), a deep-cut from the group's discography, "Hot Together" from 1986, is rapidly storming its way to the top of streaming charts on Spotify.
The decades-old track is undeniably the star of the nearly three-minute GTA 6 trailer unveiled on Wednesday, leaving a mass of gamers eager to give it a spin. In a matter of hours following the clip's release, views for "Hot Together" have exploded significantly. According to reports by The Hollywood Reporter, this spectacular surge amounts to a shocking 182,000 percent increase in views.
As IGN reported, a representative from the company shared, "Grand Theft Auto cuts through pop culture like few other things. Music has been an integral part of the series since its inception, so it's fantastic to see both old and new fans embracing a classic track in this way."
Despite the fact that none of the original band members are around to bask in this success, performances by Ruth Pointer, who joined the group in 1972 and currently continues to perform, along with her daughter Issa and great-niece Sadako Pointer Johnson, carry the legacy of The Pointer Sisters forward.
