Both singles come off their 5th new studio album "The E.N.D."(Energy Never Dies) The record was previously held by Boyz II Men, who had 16 weeks at the top spot. As for the longest consecutive number one by a solo artist, that record is taken by Usher, who enjoyed 19 straight weeks on top of the charts.
The LA-based quartet have also knocked JLS's "Beat Again" off the top of the UK's Official Singles Chart with their latest release "I Gotta Feeling", matching their same accomplishment in the US.

The official music video was released on June 2 on Dipdive and on June 16 on iTunes. The video first starts out with some scenes in Hollywood Blvd. Then it shows will.i.am combing his hair and Fergie putting on makeup wearing lingerie. It also shows Taboo and apl.de.ap getting ready for the party. Then it cuts to the party as the first verse starts. In the uncensored version, two woman are kissing at the two minute mark, at which point the lyrics "Let's take it...off!" are heard, and a hand grabs the top of the dress of one of the women, and pulls it down, exposing her breasts. All members of the Black Eyed Peas are shown dancing. Later, they are dancing with their faces and hands painted with phosphorescent paint. The video ends with a large sign with human-sized letters that reads "The E.N.D."
