The E.N.D. (short for The Energy Never Dies) is the fifth studio album by American pop group The Black Eyed Peas. The album was first released in Japan on 3 June 2009, and worldwide six days later. Critics described the album as containing more anthemic and inspirational songs in the group's bid to appeal to a new generation of music listeners.
Three promotional singles, "Imma Be", "Alive", and "Meet Me Halfway", were released through the iTunes Store in the three weeks running up to the album's release. The album gave the group their first, second, and third US number one hits with "Boom Boom Pow", "I Gotta Feeling", and "Imma Be"" which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 12, 14, and 2 weeks respectively. The third single, "Meet Me Halfway", along with the first two, topped several charts around the world including the United Kingdom and Australia. The album has sold 7 million copies to date.
Name
The album name was thought about since 2006, around the time Fergie released The Dutchess. Originally, they were going to call it Evolution, but that was also the name for Ciara's then-upcoming second studio album. The album title was then tentatively changed to From Roots to Fruits, before the group decided this title may be better suited for a future compilation album. The name was changed again to The Energy Never Dies, before being shortened to The E.N.D. The name was confirmed by will.i.am in an interview promoting the release of his third studio album, Songs About Girls.[11]
Themes
In an interview with Billboard magazine, will.i.am stated that "The E.N.D." stands for "The Energy Never Dies", which describes his model for a project that will be living and frequently updated throughout its designated cycle. "It's a diary [...] of music that at any given time, depending on the inspiration, you can add to it," the artist/producer/songwriter explains."I'm trying to break away from the concept of an album. What is an album when you put 12 songs on iTunes and people can pick at it like scabs? That's not an album. There is no album anymore." He described the music as "a lot of dance stuff, real melodic, electronic, soulful. We call it, like, electric static funk, something like that."[12] Following its release, will.i.am remarked that the album had been inspired by a trip to Australia, specifically the sound of The Presets' My People. "The energy on the Presets' small little stage was crazy energy. That song My People (he sings the chorus) - that . . . is wild," will.i.am said, ""That's the reason why this record sounds the way it does - my three months in Australia."[13]
Release and promotion
Prior to the release of the album, three promotional singles were presented by will.i.am on Dipdive and released exclusively on Apple's iTunes Store as a "Countdown to The E.N.D.". These promotional singles should not be confused with ordinary singles.
- "Imma Be" was the first promotional single and was released on May 17 in the UK, May 18 in Australia and May 19, 2009 worldwide. It was eventually released as the fourth official single off the album.
- "Alive" is the name of the second promotional single. It was released May 24 in the UK, May 25 in Australia and May 26, 2009, worldwide.
- "Meet Me Halfway" was the final promotional single to be released from the album on June 1 in Australia and June 2, 2009, worldwide. It was eventually released as third official single released off the album.
Singles
- "Boom Boom Pow" was released as the lead single on March 10, 2009. It reached the top spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, making it the groups first number-one song in America. It stayed at the top spot for twelve consecutive weeks, making it the second longest-running single to stay atop the chart in 2009. Also reached number one in Australia and the UK Singles Chart.
- "I Gotta Feeling" was released as the second single released on June 16, 2009. It replaced "Boom Boom Pow" as the number-one song in America making them only the fourth group to replace themselves at number-one in the chart's history. "I Gotta Feeling" remained at the top spot for fourteen consecutive weeks, making it the longest-running single to stay atop the chart in 2009. The song also reached number one in Australia and the UK. The song won Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 52nd Grammy Awards.
- "Meet Me Halfway" was released as the third single on September 22, 2009. It was originally released as the third and last digital promotional single for the E.N.D. on June 2. The song is their third consecutive number one in Australia and UK. It also peaked at seven on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, making it the groups third top ten single from The E.N.D.
- "Imma Be" was released on December 15, 2009 as the fourth U.S. single. As of February 25, 2010, the song has reached number one on the U.S. Hot 100, becoming the fourth top 10 single from the album and the 3rd U.S. #1 single from the album and as a group. The song reached the top 5 in Canada, due to a significant increase in digital downloads after the group performed it at the 52nd Grammy Awards[14], as well as radio airplay.[15][16]
- "Rock That Body" is the fifth single from the album (fourth international) single. It was released in Australia on January 15, 2010 and was released in the UK on March 15, 2010.

Reception
Critical
Reaction to the album so far has been mixed or positive, scoring a 60 out of 100 on Metacritic,[20] higher than their 2005 album Monkey Business but lower than their 2003 breakout Elephunk, with critics agreeing that the album has more of a dance-oriented sound than its predecessors. However it is here that opinions began to differ with Entertainment Weekly describing the album as pure Top 40 nirvana[21] while PopMatters concludes that after listening to the album and "dancing all night [...] you just may not be able to respect yourself in the morning".[22] Despite the mixed reviews, the album gained 6 nominations for the 52nd Grammy Awards and won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album on January 31, 2010.[23] The album also nominated for Album of The Year, but lost to Taylor Swift's Fearless

The album experienced a strong run in the UK Album Charts, peaking at number three for seven non-consecutive weeks. As of Sunday 27th December 2009, The E.N.D has sold 1,200,000 copies in the United Kingdom, making it their third consecutive album to gain multi platinum status and exceed sales of one million units.

The decade-end chart also revealed the album to be the third most successful album of 2009.[26]
