'Black Eyed Peas will forever be able to state that they scored the UK's first million-selling download and I Gotta Feeling is now firmly established as one of the defining tunes of our time,' Mr Talbot said. They have sold some 35million albums and 41million singles worldwide. The feat is yet another triumph for the group which has notched 11 Top 10 singles - including four number ones - and three Top Five albums in Britain. Hopefully the good vibes from that song will continue to brighten people's lives.'Īnd front man and band co-founder Will.i.am added: 'Wow!!! out of all the artists in the world? I had a feeling I was supposed to move to the UK.'
Singer Fergie said: 'It's exhilarating to know we are so connected to our Peabodies. Managing director Martin Talbot congratulated the band for an 'incredible achievement'. See what I mean? Hardly profound, but certainly platinum.įor everyone who thought shallow hedonism went out with skinny ties, pink polos and mullets in the ’80s, well, The Black Eyed Peas beg to differ.Record breakers: Black Eyed Peas are set to become the first act to sell one million copies of a song by download in the UK On Will.i.am’s blog, the Peas frontman said of the track: “This song is dedicated to everyone who is getting ready to go out.” If things go really swimmingly-and the band has a feeling they might-it could mean a good night of partying turns into a never-ending soiree: “Get with us/ … Party every day.” Along the way, we hear the phrase “oh my god” three times. Having fun is first and foremost (“Let’s live it up), which means partying with no constraints on behavior (“Let’s go way out, spaced out and losing all control”).Īnd then there’s a bit o’ girl-ogling (“Look at her dancing/Just take it off”) and burning through cash (“I got my money/Let’s spend it up”). Well, a couple of things, according to the Peas. “I gotta feeling that tonight’s gonna be a good night,” we hear over and over. Lyrically, “I Gotta Feeling” is nothing more than a synth-pop daydream about heading out to the clubs for a night of dancing. (Incidentally, the 12 weeks before “Feeling” started, um, feelin’ it, another track from the Peas, “Boom Boom Pow,” reigned.) Thus far, 2.7 million people have downloaded it. 1 song in the land for the last 14 weeks. The band’s latest hit, “I Gotta Feeling,” has been enthroned as the No. Perhaps better than any solo artist or group in pop music today, The Black Eyed Peas excel at taking innocuous-and, one might say, mindless-song ideas and spinning them into gold.
