THE BLACK EYED PEAS - Saturday, July 31, 2010

 
Due to overwhelming fan demand, six-time Grammy Award-winning recording artists The Black Eyed Peas have announced the second leg of their BlackBerry Presents “The E.N.D. World Tour 2010,” which arrives at Bell Centre in Montreal on Saturday, July 31st, 2010.  This trek is described as the ultimate Black Eyed Peas party experience, and marks the first time that the group – will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie – is united for a North American headlining tour since their 2006 Monkey Business outing.

The North American leg of BlackBerry Presents “The E.N.D. World Tour 2010” is the group’s most ambitious stage production to date, and has been acclaimed by critics across the country.  The New York Times called the show “pop’s latest sci-fi spectacle,” and RollingStone.com described it as “kind of Buck Rogers meets Vivienne Westwood.”   

The Black Eyed Peas’ #1 album The E.N.D. is RIAA-certified triple platinum in the U.S., selling more than 2.2 million copies in the U.S. and 6 million copies and counting world­wide.  It is strong as ever at #4 this week, in its 38th week on the Billboard 200 albums chart.  The group’s newest single, “Imma Be,” just earned its 2nd week at the #1 spots on Billboard’s Hot 100 and Hot Digital Tracks charts, with sales over 1.5 million and Top 10 download status at iTunes.  The smash hit follows record-breaking, consecutive #1 singles “Boom Boom Pow” (12 weeks at #1, and 4.9 million sales to date) and “I Gotta Feeling” (14 weeks at #1, and 5.1 million sales to date), the most downloaded song in iTunes history.
