Release evidence and recording details

The original 2004 single program identifies the Spike Mix separately from the earlier 2003 vocal title. Its later insertion into Elephunk does not move this recording back to 2003.

Original single: Let's Get It Started
Let's Get It Started - original A&M single program
Original 2004 release explicitly names the Spike Mix, and separately identifies the earlier 2003 vocal title. Only the 2004 selected recording is published. | Reviewed 2026-10-18
Annual version match under review
The selected recording has release evidence, but its version has not been matched to the retained annual entry. It is omitted from Beyond the yearly lists until this match is resolved.
The actual retained annual candidate has no edition metadata. The selection specifies the original album presentation or named Spike Mix; the original single/album programs do not establish that the annual row represents that precise edition. Preserve the real candidate provisionally without inferring a different performance from duration alone.

Elephunk - original songs and later vocal replacement

About The Black Eyed Peas
The Black Eyed Peas developed around will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo, with early albums built on loose hip-hop grooves and shared vocal exchanges. Fergie joined for the Elephunk era, broadening the group's sung hooks and pop arrangements. The E.N.D. and The Beginning emphasized electronic dance rhythms. Later projects such as Translation and Elevation continued under the group name with multilingual collaborations, while the members' separate solo recordings remain distinct parts of their careers.
