Eight years after its release, SZA and Travis Scott’s sultry collaboration “Love Galore” continues to prove that timeless music never fades. The breakout hit from SZA’s acclaimed 2017 debut Ctrl has officially surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify — a milestone that cements its status as one of the most iconic R&B crossovers of the decade.
As reported by Rap on Instagram, “Love Galore” has now reached eligibility for diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), marking over 10 million track-equivalent units sold in the U.S. While the certification process is still underway, the achievement alone is monumental. In doing so, it positions SZA and Travis Scott among an elite circle of artists who’ve achieved such rarefied success.
A Perfect Storm Of Chemistry And Creativity
When “Love Galore” first dropped in 2017, it captured the intoxicating push-and-pull of desire and detachment — a theme SZA made her signature on Ctrl. Travis Scott’s hypnotic verse provided the perfect contrast, turning the track into a magnetic blend of vulnerability and bravado. Its ethereal production and emotional depth have made it a staple of late-night playlists and TikTok nostalgia alike. Now, with over a billion streams, “Love Galore” continues to resonate with listeners who first fell in love with its dreamy tension.
Two Titans At The Top Of Their Game
This new milestone adds to a wave of wins for both artists. Travis Scott recently claimed the title of most-certified hip-hop song of all time with “Goosebumps” featuring Kendrick Lamar, while his UTOPIA era keeps his creative flame burning bright. SZA, meanwhile, remains unstoppable following her record-shattering SOS rollout, new collaborations like “PT Cruiser” with MoRuf, and ongoing rumors of a potential link-up with Mariah Carey.
Their shared success story doesn’t end with “Love Galore,” either. The two reunited for “Open Arms” on SOS and “Telekinesis” on Scott’s UTOPIA. Proof that their chemistry hasn’t dimmed, only evolved.
A Diamond In The Making
As “Love Galore” inches closer to official diamond certification, it stands as a defining reminder of SZA’s emotional authenticity and Travis Scott’s futuristic flair. Together, they struck gold — and soon, possibly diamond — with a record that continues to shape the sonic landscape years later.
