NEW YORK — The Black Eyed Peas have just made history on the Billboard charts.

This week the foursome will have topped Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart for 20 consecutive weeks, the most ever by an act. "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling," the song that dislodged it, have been on top of the singles chart for 12 weeks and eight weeks, respectively.

Though the band has had big hits over the years, "Boom Boom Pow" is their first No. 1 single.

I tend to agree with most of the comments posted. I have never seen a recall receive so much attention by the media. All auto manufacturers have recalls from time to time, it is only natural - however this time there seem to be a lot more attention given.I just wonder if it has anything to do with that the US Government are currently part owners in GM.Just wondering.
