The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The neuroaesthetics of music. (2013, background): “Turning to the experience itself: chills are associated with increased subjective emotion and physiological arousal (Grewe et al., 2009) and are usually experienced as highly pleasurable (Goldstein, 1980; Panksepp, 1995; Sloboda, 1992).”
Shivers and Timbres (2011, background): “As noted earlier, chills research commonly finds that many people never experience chills but others experience chills unusually often (e.g., Grewe et al., 2009).”
Current Emotion Research in Music Psychology (2015, background): “Chills that are evoked in response to self-selected music are accompanied by physiological changes indicative of emotional arousal, such as increases in electro-dermal activity (EDA), heart rate, and respiration rate, but decreases in body temperature (Grewe et al., 2009; Rickard, 2004; Salimpoor et”
On personality and piloerection: Individual differences in aesthetic chills and other unusual aesthetic experiences. (2011, background): “As Grewe et al.
