A fresh wave of popularity: The Pointer Sisters' "Hot Together" on Spotify
Title Track by The Pointer Sisters Fluctuates on Spotify - The iconic Pointer Sisters Musical Group to Join Spotify Platform
Dive into the world of music and gaming as a timeless track by the iconic American soul band The Pointer Sisters, "Hot Together," soars on Spotify. This unexpected rise in popularity comes courtesy of the recent trailer for the highly anticipated video game "Grand Theft Auto 6."
In the span of just a few hours, the 1986 single has experienced an unprecedented 182,000% surge in streams, a testament to the game's impressive influence. This sudden fame, however, won't be enjoyed by all of the original band members, as tragically, June Pointer passed away in 2006, followed by Bonnie and Anita in 2020 and 2022, respectively.
Despite the bittersweet circumstances, Ruth Pointer, the oldest of the four sisters, has kept the legacy alive. Performing alongside her daughter Issa since 2002 and grandniece Sadako Pointer Johnson since 2009, Ruth continues to carry on the band's music.
Record-breaking viewership for the "GTA 6" trailer
The viral success of The Pointer Sisters' "Hot Together" on Spotify pales in comparison to the explosive viewership of the second trailer for "GTA 6" by developer studio Rockstar Games. Boasting over 85 million views on YouTube alone (as of May 8, 12 pm), the trailer has already reached approximately 500 million views across all platforms.
The anticipated arrival of the new installment in the elaborate open-world game series shows no signs of slowing down. Despite, or perhaps because of, the delay in its release from the initial planned year to May 26, 2026.
- The viral popularity of "Hot Together" by The Pointer Sisters on Spotify can be attributed to the recent trailer for the much-anticipated video game, Grand Theft Auto 6.
