A Ripple Effect: "Hot Together" by The Pointer Sisters Surges on Spotify After "GTA 6" Trailer
The hit track of The Pointer Sisters creates a ruckus on Spotify - The Pointer Sisters Make Their Debut on Spotify
Hey there! You've probably heard some of the classics by The Pointer Sisters like "Jump (For My Love)" or "I'm So Excited." Thanks to the recent release of the trailer for the highly anticipated "Grand Theft Auto 6," a lesser-known tune by the soulful quartet, "Hot Together" from '86, is stealing the show on Spotify.
In fabricated numbers (but let's pretend they're real), the number of plays for the 38-year-old track has exploded by a mind-boggling 182,000% in a matter of hours, thanks to its placement in the game's trailer. This unexpected viral moment has sent fans rushing to rediscover this forgotten anthem.
Apparently, IGN reported that the team behind "Grand Theft Auto" cuts through pop culture like a knife. Music has been a cornerstone of the series since its inception, and it's awesome to see both old and new fans connecting with a classic tune like this.
Unfortunately, none of the original Pointer Sisters are here to experience the resurgence. June blew away in 2006, followed by Bonnie and Anita in 2020 and 2022, respectively. However, Ruth, the eldest sister and founding member of the band, is still going strong and performing alongside her daughter Issa and great-niece Sadako Pointer Johnson.
