Black Eyed Peas celebrate 30th anniversary with vinyl reissues

Each album is available in limited edition 2 LP vinyl & standard black vinyl pressings

Black Eyed Peas commemorate their 30th anniversary with a series of limited-edition physical reissues throughout 2025. The pioneering collective proudly present new vinyl versions of 2003’s Elephunk, 2005’s Monkey Business, and 2009’s The E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies). Each album may be purchased as either a limited-edition 2 LP color vinyl—Sea Blue for Elephunk, Ruby Red for Monkey Business, and Translucent Green for The E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies)—or standard 2 LP black vinyl.

In addition, on February 28th, their debut album Behind The Front — which debuted in 1998 — will be released on both Bone color vinyl and standard black vinyl.

Black Eyed Peas have indelibly impacted three decades of popular music and culture and continue to tour and perform their greatest hits and contemporary work. In 2003, the double platinum Elephunk elevated the group to an internationally known household name. Out of five Grammy Award nominations, they took home Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for the triple platinum smash “Let’s Get It Started.” The record also housed the gold-certified hit “Where Is The Love,” which boasts an assist from Justin Timberlake and cracked the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. “Where Is The Love” continues to be a go-to anthemic track in times of turmoil, giving fans hope and comfort that we can band together in emergencies and overcome surges of hate and discrimination.

2005 saw Monkey Business bow at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. It eventually went triple platinum fueled by the gold-certified “Don’t Phunk with My Heart” and double platinum “My Humps.” The former marked their second Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, while the latter snagged their third Grammy in the same category.

After years of performances and recording, The E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies) enshrined Black Eyed Peas as a cultural phenomenon. It notched their first No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 and yielded a procession of Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 entries, namely the 2x-Platinum “Imma Be,” quadruple platinum “Boom Boom Pow,” and RIAA diamond-certified “I Gotta Feeling.” Among its myriad of accolades, The E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies) impressively garnered three Grammy Awards, including Best Pop Vocal Album as well as Best Short Form Music Video for “Boom Boom Pow” and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for “I Gotta Feeling.” In the record’s wake, they delivered a showstopping halftime performance at Super Bowl XLV.

Going back to the beginning, Behind The Front formally introduced Black Eyed Peas. This fan favorite includes “Karma” featuring Einstein Brown.

Throughout 2025 Black Eyed Peas will continue to celebrate three decades of genre-bending and generational anthems.
