I do not believe this article currently passes the guideline for music notability WP:MUSIC. I am not impressed by the Sputnik Music reference, an anonymous "interview" that may as well have been written by a primary source. Is there anything better?

They're weak, but the chart entry, a mention in Billboard, a tiny feature in CMJ New Music Monthly, and slots in the third Gran Turismo edge it for me. List of songs recorded by Grand Theft Audio feels like a waste of space though. To confuse matters there was a short-lived band called Grand Theft Auto active at the same time, and the name is a surprisingly common typo, e.g. this article here where I learn that "Scottish games developers Rock Star Games has just made its classic Grand Theft Audio game free for download". Presumably they would have had trouble continuing after the video game moved to 3D and became a monster hit. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 11:14, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
