Goosebumps is 13x platinum in the United States.
Travis Scott has finally updated sales for his 2016 Kendrick Lamar collab “Goosebumps” which had been eligible for Diamond since 2022. The songs now earned Travis Scott his second RIAA Diamond and sold over 13 million units in the US. It is Kendrick Lamar’s first official Diamond since he hasn’t updated his catalogue in years. Scott previously earned the Diamond status with Drake collab “Sicko Mode”.
The song was released as the third single from Scott’s second studio album, “Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight.” In 2017, the rapper also broke a Guinness World Record for the most consecutive performances of a song during a show after he performed “Goosebumps” 15 times in a row.

In an old interview with Billboard, Travis Scott revealed how the collaboration came together. “I met him [Kendrick Lamar] at the MTV Video Music Awards one year and he came up to me and was just like, “Yo, man, I f–k with your music. It’s super dope and inspirational.” I was like, whoa, this is the best rapper in the globe – he f–ks with my music! That’s one of the things that made me want to keep working on my music and try to keep it going ’cause I’m not the most rappity rap a-s ni–a. That’s not me but I really love Kendrick’s music. I really love André [3000]’s music. I really love ‘Ye’s sh-t. I really love Jay’s sh-t. I like rappers. It’s just dope that these dudes came to La Flame’s world to get down on some ill beats.”
