They ignited a new era with the 2019 single “RITMO (Bad Boys For Life)” alongside J Balvin, generating over 1 billion combined streams and video views in under six months’ time.

Everything just paved the way for their eighth album Translation to make a major splash around the globe. It arrived with a bang worldwide, bowing at #3 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums Chart as the group’s first Top 5 entry. Beyond tallying billions of streams and counting, “RITMO” earned a double-platinum certification from the RIAA as “MAMACITA” and “GIRL LIKE ME” [with Shakira] each surpassed gold status. Translation generated widespread critical applause as Variety proclaimed, “BEP have found a new sense of adventure.” Black Eyed Peas continue to move culture with intensity like never before.
