Fergies band The Black Eyed Peas are set to log their first No. 1 single in the United States when Billboard issues its Hot 100 chart on Thursday.

“Boom Boom Pow” — the first single from their upcoming fifth studio album “The E.N.D.” — sold 465,000 downloads last week, setting a new record for best single-week and debut download totals by a group. It ranked at No. 39 on the previous chart.

The group’s prior best showing on the Hot 100 was a No. 3 peak for both Grammy-winning tunes “Don’t Phunk With My Heart” and “My Humps” in 2005.
