Global chart-topping trio, the Black Eyed Peas, celebrate 25 years into their career with a Billboard magazine print cover for being a long-standing global hit machine.
Since their debut back in 1995 and under management by Polo Molina of Grassroots Music and partner Seth Freidman, the group has achieved tremendous success with hits that dominated the charts for weeks at a time. The group rose to instant fame with their breakout hit single “Where Is the Love?”. Future releases such as “Pump It,” “Boom Boom Pow,” and “I Gotta Feeling” further solidified their hit-making status with over one billion views collectively.
The hip-hop music makers have gathered more than 2.5 billion streams and 48.8 million downloads just in the United States alone.
Currently consisting of will.i.am, alp.de.ap and Taboo, the group continues to make popular bangers and collaborate with other worldwide acts. The group’s eighth studio album, Translation, was recorded in both English and Spanish and released in 2020 to rave reviews. The album garnered 11 entries on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart and four number ones on the US airplay with “MAMACITA” with Ozuna and J. Rey Soul, “RITMO (Bad Boys For Life)” with Colombian superstar J Balvin, “FEEL THE BEAT” with Maluma and “GIRL LIKE ME” featuring “Queen of Latin Music,” Shakira since the album’s release a year ago.
