Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamar's collaboration on "Goosebumps" has reached a significant milestone. The music video for "Goosebumps," a standout track from Travis Scott's 2016 album "Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight," has now surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube. This achievement highlights the enduring popularity and impact of the song.

The Making of "Goosebumps"

The "Goosebumps" music video, directed by the innovative BRTHR team, is a psychedelic visual feast. It captures Travis Scott wandering through a surreal cityscape, reflecting on lost love. Kendrick Lamar's entrance adds another layer of intensity to the already compelling visuals. Released as part of Scott's 2016 album "Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight," the song quickly became a fan favorite, contributing to the album's strong debut atop the Billboard 200.

Chart Performance and Reception

When "Goosebumps" was initially released, it experienced a gradual climb on the Billboard Hot 100. Debuting in September 2016, the track took some time to gain traction, eventually peaking at No. 34 on the Hot 100 chart by May 25, 2017. Despite its slow rise, the song maintained a steady presence on the chart, lasting 35 weeks, making it one of Scott's most enduring hits.

Continued Success and Future Prospects

Comparing "Goosebumps" to other major hits from Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamar underscores its success. For Scott, this marks his second entry into the Billion Views Club, following "SICKO MODE." For Lamar, this is his second as well, having previously appeared in Taylor Swift’s "Bad Blood (Remix)." As of now, Lamar's solo track "HUMBLE" is also nearing the billion-view milestone.

Travis Scott has recently continued to build on his success by re-releasing his 2014 mixtape "Days Before Rodeo" on streaming platforms. This re-release has sparked renewed interest in his early work, demonstrating his ability to maintain relevance and excitement in the music industry.

Highlights of Travis Scott's Continued Success:

  • Billion Views Club: "Goosebumps" joins "SICKO MODE."
  • Re-releases: "Days Before Rodeo" is now available on streaming platforms.
  • Steady Chart Presence: "Goosebumps" lasted 35 weeks on the Hot 100.

Travis Scott's continued innovation and engagement with his fan base suggest a promising future with more milestones to come. Kendrick Lamar’s ongoing projects also indicate that we can expect more groundbreaking music and visuals from both artists.
