The E.N.D.

The E.N.D. (an abbreviation of and subtitled The Energy Never Dies) is the fifth studio album by American group the Black Eyed Peas. It was released on June 3, 2009, by Interscope Records.

Their final product was a pop, hip hop and EDM album, with elements of electro-funk and significantly differing from their previous albums. However, its lyrical themes were similar to its predecessors Elephunk (2003) and Monkey Business.

Upon its release, The E.N.D. received mixed reviews from music critics, who described it as containing more anthemic and inspirational songs in the group's bid to appeal to a new generation of music listeners. It was the Black Eyed Peas' first number-one album on the US Billboard 200, debuting atop the chart with first-week sales of 304,000 copies. Internationally, it reached number one in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, New Zealand and Portugal. At the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, the album was nominated for six awards, including Album of the Year, and Record of the Year for "I Gotta Feeling", and won the award for Best Pop Vocal Album. By June 2011, the album had sold over 11 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century.
