Black Eyed Peas’ ‘My Humps’ Hits 1 Billion YouTube Views — Should B96 Bring It Back?

B96 DallasJuly 23, 20262 min read

Twenty years after it first took over pop radio, The Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps" is proving it's still a guilty pleasure. The song's official music video has officially surpassed one billion views on YouTube, becoming the group's third video to reach the milestone after "Where Is the Love?" and "RITMO (Bad Boys For Life)."

Released in 2005 from the album Monkey Business, "My Humps" became one of the most talked-about pop songs of the decade. The track climbed into the Top 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, won a Grammy Award, and helped cement The Black Eyed Peas as one of the biggest crossover acts of the 2000s.

For Dallas-Fort Worth listeners, it's one of those songs that instantly brings back memories of packed dance floors, school dances, and early iPod playlists. Whether you loved it or rolled your eyes every time it came on, chances are you still know every word.

So... should B96 ever play it?

"My Humps" probably isn't a fit for our current hit rotation, but it could be a fun addition to a throwback feature celebrating the biggest pop anthems of the 2000s. It's the kind of song that sparks instant nostalgia—and judging by a billion YouTube views, plenty of people are still pressing play.

The milestone also adds to an impressive run for The Black Eyed Peas, whose catalog continues to find new audiences years after its original release. With songs like "I Gotta Feeling," "Boom Boom Pow," and now "My Humps" continuing to rack up massive streaming numbers, the group's impact on pop music remains undeniable.

Would you want to hear "My Humps" on B96 during a throwback feature, or should it stay in the 2000s? Let us know on our Facebook page!
