Which artist won Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2010 Grammys for 'The E.N.D.'?

The Black Eyed Peas won Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2010 Grammys for The E.N.D. The group’s album title is an abbreviation of “The Energy Never Dies,” and it marked a major electronic-pop shift in the band’s sound. The principal lineup at the time included will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie.

Released in 2009, The E.N.D. produced several enormous singles, including “Boom Boom Pow,” “I Gotta Feeling” and “Imma Be.” Its polished dance-pop production helped make the Black Eyed Peas one of the defining mainstream acts of the late 2000s. At the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, the album won in a field that included releases by Colbie Caillat, Kelly Clarkson, The Fray and P!nk.

The category is sometimes confused with Album of the Year, the Grammys’ broader general-field album prize. The E.N.D. was nominated for Album of the Year but did not win; Taylor Swift’s Fearless took that award. The Black Eyed Peas nevertheless had a major night, winning three Grammys, including Best Pop Vocal Album.
