Multi-platinum and three-time Grammy Award-winning group The Black Eyed Peas have moved up the digital release of the group’s first single “Boom Boom Pow,” off their fifth studio album, The E.N.D., to Monday, March 30th, the date the single becomes available to all digital retail accounts.

The single impacted CHR/Top 40 Radio two weeks ago, and is currently #17 at the format. The record is the group’s eleventh CHR/Top 40 hit, tying them with the Backstreet Boys for most chart hits in the aforementioned format by a group this decade.

An accompanying video for the new single “Boom Boom Pow,” directed by production company Motion Theory (producers of Weezer’s Grammy Award-winning video “Pork and Beans”), will be released in early April.

The song was produced by will.i.am, and written by The Black Eyed Peas (will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo, and Fergie). As previously reported, The E.N.D. comes out June 9th, 2009.

In addition, The Black Eyed Peas will perform tomorrow night (Friday, March 27th) at the Ultra Music Festival, which is part of the Winter Music Conference.

As part of Verizon Wireless’ exclusive music series, mega-producer Timothy “Timbaland” Mosley and rock legend Chris Cornell have joined forces to create a new song titled “Stop Me,” which will debut during an invitation-only event tomorrow night in Chicago, along with a performance by the former Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman.

Verizon and Timbaland have been working together to bring new songs to BlackBerry Storm smartphone customers in connection with several special events over the past few months. Prior to the new song, Timbaland produced two other records for Verizon’s Storm program, including remixes of Rihanna’s “Rehab” and the Jonas Brothers’ “Tonight.”

This past Tuesday, Cornell released his new album Scream, making the premiere of the new single even more meaningful. “‘Stop Me’ is the third exclusive song I’ve created just for Verizon’s BlackBerry Storm customers,” said Timbaland. “It made perfect sense to debut it the same week that Scream was released since I produced that album as well.”

“It’s cool to be a part of the Verizon program because it can offer genuinely innovative ways of getting new music out to fans,” said Chris Cornell.

“Stop Me” will first become available for download by BlackBerry Storm smartphone users during evening of the performance.
