FRIENDS theme song "I'll be there for you" goes viral streaming 137 million times; Reports

The iconic FRIENDS theme song, namely "I’ll Be There For You" by The Rembrandts has been streamed over 137 million times since the trailer of the FRIENDS reunion special episode, titled FRIENDS: The Reunion released. As per a report on MoneyControl.com, the information has been furnished by Spotify, the music streaming service provider who has been tracking the listening activities of its user base ever since the trailer of the FRIENDS reunion special episode had been released. In addition to the FRIENDS theme song, as per the very same report, the "Smelly Cat" song, which was sung by Lisa Kudrow as her character, Phoebe Buffay on the show, was also streamed approximately 1.5 million times. The listening activities were being tracked by the officials at Spotify to reportedly get a sense of how is the fandom preparing for the reunion special episode ahead of its release on streaming platforms worldwide.

It must be noted that both the songs were also a part of the FRIENDS reunion special episode. An instrumental and slowed-down version of the Rembrandts' "I’ll be there for you" was being played in the background as the cast members of the sitcom hugged and relived the moments they had spent with each other during the reunion episode. Smelly Cat, on the other hand, was sung by Kudrow once again as her character on the reunion special. Shortly after her concluding her own rendition of the iconic tune, she was joined in by Lady Gaga, the multiple Grammy Award-winning musician who gave the tune her own fresh spin.
