"Boom Boom Pow" is a hit song by
the Black Eyed Peas released as the lead single from
their upcoming album The E.N.D.. The song uses the
auto-tune vocal effect, and blends the genres of
dance pop, electro-hop and hip hop.
The single sold 465,000 downloads in its first week
of digital release, the third-largest number of
download sales in a single week overall, and the
largest single-week and debut-download totals by a
group in the history of digital-download sales
tracking, reaching #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100
and Pop 100. It became the group's first U.S. #1. It
sold another 335,000 downloads in the U.S. in its
second week of release, 259,000 in its third week,
226,000 in its fourth, 212,000 in its fifth and
215,000 in its sixth, bringing its total U.S. sales
to 1,717,000 in six weeks. This made it the
second-fastest song to hit the one million mark in
paid downloads, the first being Flo Rida's "Right
Round", which did it in two weeks. Thanks to its
digital downloads and massive radio airplay, the
song has topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for six
consecutive weeks, making it the Black Eyed Peas'
most successful U.S. single to date. The song has
also charted internationally and reached #1 in
Canada, Australia and UK as well.
