BLACK EYED PEAS SET ANOTHER RECORD: Last two singles combine to yield most weeks at No. 1 by a single group.
"Boom Boom Pow" and the song that dethroned it, "I Gotta Feeling," have been at the top of the charts for 12 and eight weeks, respectively.
"There's a part of me that wants to be cocky, but then I can't be cocky," group member will.i.am told Billboard Tuesday. "There's a part of me that wants to call out all of my other peers and competitors. I don't want to say no names because I'm not like that, but part of me wants to do that. And would it be wrong if I did that? Yes it would. I'm not like that."
The success of "Boom Boom Pow," the quartet's first No. 1 single, was somewhat of a surprise for will.i.am.
"I knew that `Boom Boom Pow' would be big in the clubs, but I didn't know it would be that potent with the world, outside of the club. So that my accountant's aunt would be like: Black Eyed Peas, I love `Boom Boom Pow!'" he laughed. "I didn't know it was going to be that. I didn't know that teachers would say I like `Boom Boom Pow.'"
Will.i.am says he's not sure how to take it all in.
"Like how am I supposed to take this and soak this in? If these people like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Michael Jackson have these No.1s, but yet we just broke a record, how am I supposed to take that because we came from the under, under, underground," he said.
