More on Monkey Business
Description from Wikipedia:
Monkey Business is the fourth album by the Black Eyed Peas, released in various countries in late May to early June 2005 (see 2005 in music).
"Don't Phunk with My Heart" was the lead single from the Black Eyed Peas' second album since band member Fergie joined the group. The single became the group's first top 5 single, peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and their second top 10. Shortly thereafter, the group released second single "Don't Lie", however it failed to duplicate the success of "Don't Phunk with My Heart", partly due to the rising success of the then-unreleased-single "My Humps". "Don't Lie" did manage to crack the top 20 in the United States, peaking at #14 on the Hot 100; the track did however reach #1 on the United World Chart.
"My Humps" was the third single released from the album in the summer of 2005. The single was released after it became an unsolicited hit on mainstream radio across the United States. The track, even with lack of promotion, surpassed the highly-promoted track "Don't Lie". "My Humps" became one of the biggest songs of 2005, despite an incredible amount of criticism, with some labelling the song "tasteless". "Pump It" was released as the fourth and final single from the album, and was the fourth and final song from the album to chart on the Hot 100.
The album's tracks earned the group four 2006 Grammy Award nominations and they also won the Grammy for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group for "Don't Phunk with My Heart". "My Humps" earned the group a win at the 2007 Grammy Awards as well for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
According to IFPI, over 2 million copies have been sold in Europe.
