The discography of the Black Eyed Peas, a Los Angeles-based hip hop group, consists of five studio albums, one extended play (EP), twenty-three singles, one compilation album and three video albums. The group was formed by will.i.am and apl.de.ap in the late 1980s, beginning as the Atban Klann.[1] After changing their name to the Black Eyed Peas, the band experienced several member changes, briefly including Kim Hill in their line-up until 2000, and introducing Taboo and Fergie.[2]

In 1992 will.i.am and apl.de.ap were signed to Eazy-E's record label Ruthless Records under the name Atban Klann, where they first appreared on Eazy E's album called 5150 home 4 tha sick with other recently signed talent, on the song 'Merry Muthaphukkin Xmas'[3]. Atban Klann released Grass Roots in 1992. However it did poorly in the charts. In 1994 Eazy E signed Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to Ruthless Records and encouraged both groups to record together however Bizzy Bone had an argument with will.i.x/will.i.am and the groups never performed together. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony went on to become the most succesful hip-hop groups of the 20th centuary. In 2007 Bone Thugs eventually recorded with Will.I.Am for the album Strength & Loyalty.

In 1998, the group released their debut album, Behind the Front. The album was well received, gaining a four-star review by Allmusic,[4] but did not chart highly in all markets. Their sophomore album, Bridging the Gap, gained a peak position of #67 in the Billboard 200, and reached its highest peak position in New Zealand, with a high of number eighteen on the country's album chart. The group's breakthrough single was "Where Is the Love?" in 2003, from Elephunk, which features Justin Timberlake. The song put the group in the public eye, peaking at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100, and reaching number-one positions in several other countries.

Black Eyed Peas' third studio album, Elephunk, reached number fourteen in the US after its release in 2003, and was their biggest triumph globally, gaining top five positions in many charts across Europe. Their fourth album, titled Monkey Business, released in 2005, was their most successful US album release, with a Billboard peak position of number two. It spawned their two highest-peaking Hot 100 singles, "Don't Phunk with My Heart" and "My Humps", both of which reached number three. Black Eyed Peas will release their fifth studio album, The E.N.D., in 2009. The first single from this album, "Boom Boom Pow" peaked at no.1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it their first U.S. no.1 hit, the song has held onto the top spot for 11 weeks and counting.[5]
