GTA Radio Playlists Now Available on Spotify and iTunes
One of the most integral parts of Rockstar’s flagship franchise are the “choons” that be bangin’ from your Cheetah!
We all have wonderful stories about driving on the open road whilst Flock of Seagulls plays…and then someone opens fire. Either way, music in Grand Theft Auto, has and will always play a massive role in setting the tone.
Now, you can relive those memories through iTunes and Spotify as Rockstar has compiled playlists of tracks from all of the radio stations in GTA IV, San Andreas, Vice City and more!
Sadly, some of the songs that were spun by many of the DJs in the Grand Theft Auto games aren’t available on either music distribution service, but Rockstar have said that they’re hoping to “add the original songs within our control where possible soon.” But wait, there’s more! If people want to check out some of the radio adverts from your favourite GTA games, you can do so by heading over to Rockstar Games’ The Advertising Council repository.
Below, you can find links to station specific playlists for either Spotify or iTunes. Go and relive those memories, you crazy kids!

While not stations in the traditional sense with hosts and commercials like the above entries in the series, we’d be remiss if we didn’t include the available selections from the instrumentally infused soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

How's things? I'm the video guy and would love if you'd watch the things I do like Debatable and For Your Amusement. I spend the majority of my days explaining why The Wire is the greatest TV show ever and clamouring for a Pop-Punk revival(c. 1994) whilst singing in my best Axl Rose-esque voice. Do not say professional wrestling is “fake” around me or, he’ll bore you with, what I like to call, “the risks they take”. Henrik Larsson is my hero.
