Reviving a Pointer Sisters Gem: "Hot Together" Takes Over Spotify After Appearing in GTA 6 Trailer
Hit single of Pointer Sisters stirs wave on Spotify - Spotify to host The Pointer Sisters' music collection
Get ready to groove to a retro tune - "Hot Together" by the fabulous Pointer Sisters! This lesser-known gem is storming Spotify charts, thanks to its feature in the recent trailer for the upcoming gaming sensation, Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6).
The almost 40-year-old track, released in 1986, has been spinning non-stop due to its prominent placement in the gripping, three-minute game trailer. And it looks like gamers can't get enough! In just a few short hours since the trailer hit YouTube and other platforms, streams for "Hot Together" have skyrocketed by a mind-boggling 182,000% according to The Hollywood Reporter.
As "IGN" reports, a company spokesperson notes, "Grand Theft Auto" seeps into pop culture like no other. Music has been intertwined with the series from the start, so it's fantastic to see new and seasoned fans resonating with this timeless tune."
Unfortunately, none of the original Pointer Sisters - June, Bonnie, and Anita - are alive to witness this resurgence. June passed away in 2006, followed by Bonnie in 2020 and Anita in 2022. However, the group's eldest member, Ruth, carries on the legacy since 1972 and still performs today, joined by daughter Issa since 2002, and great-niece Sadako Pointer Johnson since 2009.
