Will.i.am has revealed one of the performers expected to spice up Madonna’s upcoming halftime extravaganza: LMFAO.
Will.i.am says, “I’m going to the Super Bowl this year to see my group LMFAO perform with Madonna.” LMFAO, who scored a pair of Hot 100 chart-toppers last year with “Party Rock Anthem” and “Sexy and I Know It,” are signed to Will.i.am Music Group through Cherrytree/Interscope.
The Peas star continued, “Check that out, Will.i.am Music Group is pretty freaking two for two…. One year the Super Bowl, the next year another group part of the Super Bowl in collaboration with Madonna. That’s still happening.”
Madonna was announced as the Super Bowl halftime show performer in December after months of speculation. Nicki Minaj is also rumored to show up at the Super Bowl performance, after the hip-hop star and pop legend collaborated on Madonna’s forthcoming single, “Give Me All Your Love.”

The Black Eyed Peas Announce New Album
The Black Eyed Peas have announced that they’re releasing a new album!
The album, titled The Beginning, is almost finished and will be released later this year.
Will.i.am said that this record “symbolizes growth, new beginnings and starts, fresh new perspective.”
After it was just announced that the band’s hit I Gotta Feeling has become the best-selling song in digital history with 6 million downloads, we have to admit, the Black Eyed Peas are unstoppable!
The Black Eyed Peas “I Gotta Feeling” hits 6 Million Downloads!

The Black Eyed Peas have more proof of the ubiquity of “I Gotta Feeling.”
Their No. 1 hit has become the first song to reach the 6 million mark in digital downloads.
The milestone was announced Friday and confirmed by Nielsen SoundScan. For the group’s leader, will.i.am, the moment is about much more than the song.
“We came out in ’98 and our career, if you would look at it on chart, there’s no dips in it,” he said in a phone interview Thursday. “For our career to still be healthy and vibrant and doing things like 6 million downloads, it’s pretty significant.”
It’s also significant, he said, in a time when illegal downloading is the norm.”That means that they chose to support the group, support the art,” he said. “God knows how many people listened to it online and didn’t buy it, downloaded it for free and didn’t think about it.”
The upbeat song about good vibes was No. 1 for 14 weeks; will.i.am said the reason it was so successful was because it gave people hope in a downward time.
“It’s a positive, feel-good song at the time where there’s question marks and uncertainty. People want to be reminded that it’s going to be all right,” he said.
The song was one of the hits from the group’s multiplatinum “The E.N.D.,” which was released last year. Although it is still on the charts, will.i.am said a new album, “The Beginning,” is almost finished and likely due at the end of the year.
“It symbolizes growth, new beginnings and starts, fresh new perspective,” he said.
Congrats Black Eyed Peas!

There was not a dry-eye in the house at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday, June 27, 2010 when Chris Brown took to the BET AWARDS ’10 stage to honor the late Michael Jackson. Kanye West opened the show with a monumental performance of “Power” atop a smoky crag of rocks marking his return to the Awards show spotlight and circuit. King of the South T.I., backed by Travis Barker on drums and flaming pyrotechnics, tore the house down with his first national TV performance since being released from prison. Brown, West and T.I.’s show-stopping performances at this year’s tenth anniversary BET AWARDS ’10 provide platform for these three artists to re-emerge from the ashes for the negative publicity they recently faced to reclaim their status as superstars.
