The Black Eyed Peas (see also best songs 234) have been active since 1995, but Will. i. am (Wiiliam Adams,) Taboo (Jaime Gomez,) and apl. de. ap (Alan Lindo,) had been working together since 1988. The bands forth member, Fergie (Stacy Ferguson,) joined them for the recording of their third Album,’Elephunk’ in 2003, she remained a member until 2017 (see also best songs 909.)

‘Boom Boom Pow’ was the lead single from The Black Eyed Peas fifth studio Album ‘The E.N.D.,’ and gave them their first Billboard Number 1 single in 2009. Will i am had been in Australia filming for his role as John Wraith, for the film ‘X-Men Origins. Wolverine,’ and had been spending evenings in nightclubs in Sydney where he was influenced by the ‘Electro Music’ that he heard. He has also stated that the song ‘Planet Rock’ by Afrika Bambaataa from 1982 (see also best songs 716,) was also a major influence, which is ironic considering that this song is about what music will sound like in the future.
