NEW YORK — Will.i.am would love to say “I told you so” to all the people who have bashed the Black Eyed Peas in the past, but he won’t — even though the group just made history on the Billboard charts. “There’s a part of me that wants to be cocky, but then I can’t be cocky,” the 34-year-old Peas leader said Tuesday.
This week the foursome, who have had their share of critics, will have topped Billboard’s Hot 100 singles charts for 20 consecutive weeks, the most ever by an act. “Boom Boom Pow” and the song that dislodged it, “I Gotta Feeling,” have been at the top of the charts for 12 and eight weeks, respectively. The Peas will headline Jazz Aspen Snowmass on Sept. 5. The Associated Press
