The pop-rap four-piece have now spent the last 26 weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100 - 12 with 'Boom Boom Pow', followed by 14 with current number one 'I Gotta Feeling'.
Behind the Peas, Jay Sean bounces back to two with 'Down', while Miley Cyrus rebounds to three with 'Party In The USA'.
Meanwhile, Jason DeRulo jumps from ten to five with 'Whatcha Say', a track based on a sample from Imogen Heap's 'Hide and Seek'.
Notable gains outside the top ten come from Beyoncé, who advances from 18 to 15 with 'Sweet Dreams', and David Guetta, who leaps from 55 to 45 with Akon collaboration 'Sexy Chick'.
