Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Goosebumps’ Hits 17× Platinum, Tops U.S. Rap Certifications

The RIAA milestone reflects years of streaming-driven growth for a 2016 track that rose from a modest Hot 100 peak to enduring ubiquity.

Overview

  • RIAA records confirm the single at 17× Platinum as of October 3, 2025, representing 17 million certified units in the U.S.
  • The new level places the song at the top of rap’s all-time certification rankings, widely compared with Drake’s “God’s Plan.”
  • The track’s climb accelerated recently, moving from Diamond at 13× in August 2024 to 15× a day later, 16× by November 2024, and now 17×.
  • Despite never reaching No. 1 on the Hot 100 (it peaked at No. 32), the song maintained heavy consumption through long-term streaming.
  • Production by Cardo Got Wings, CuBeatz, and Yung Exclusive underpins the track’s staying power alongside Kendrick Lamar’s prominent guest verse.
