The new Billboard Hot 100 keeps coming out, and despite an alarming gain by some guy named Jay-Z, the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling” remains on top, further proving that the Peas are the greatest pop ensemble ever assembled (even better than those old guys above).
Don’t believe that the Peas are one of the greatest pop groups ever? What follows are nine of the many otherwise acclaimed bands or musicians who’ve been bested by the Peas over the course of their twenty-five weeks (and counting) atop the Hot 100.
Lil Wayne
Remember last year, when this guy dominated the world of music? Me neither. Just six weeks with a number one.
Hall & Oates
We like your dulcet tones. Well, we like them enough to give you fewer than half as many weeks as the Peas at number one.
Boyz II Men
They had the record for most consecutive weeks atop the Hot 100. Had.
The Supremes
You know how many number one hits they had? Twelve. You know how many weeks they spent there? Twenty-one. Sit down, queens of Motown.
ABBA
Congrats on the Hall of Fame nomination, Swedes. Too bad you only managed one week with a number one hit in the U.S.
OutKast
Remember “Hey Ya!”? That was a great single. You couldn’t escape that thing in early 2004, and why would you want to? But it was only number one for a measly nine weeks. Either Peas hit song is better.
Fleetwood Mac
Only one week for these guys, too. Stevie Nicks
