The Black Eyed Peas (BEP) is an American hip hop/pop group based in Los Angeles. The group is composed of will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo, and Fergie. Since their breakout album Elephunk in 2003, the group's hip hop/dance pop-oriented style has sold an estimated 18 million albums worldwide and 9 million singles. The group is one of only eleven artists to have ever held the number 1 and 2 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. With 19 consecutive weeks at No. 1, the Peas tie Usher's record for most consecutive frames atop the Hot 100 (Usher did it with hits "Yeah!" and "Burn" in 2004). The Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" is No. 1 this week, and if it stays put next week, Usher's record will be overtaken. More on Wikipedia.
