What a week it has been for Asian-Americans to be on television! Earlier in the week, Kev Jumba (YouTube comedian/celebrity) was seen competing on The Amazing Race. Then last night, Far East Movement made their tv debut on the late-night talk show, Lopez Tonight. They were the first ever Asian-American group to perform on a talk show. That’s history right there.

But that’s not all. They’re making history left right and center now. I woke up early Wednesday morning to news that Far East Movement had hit #1 on US iTunes with their single “Like a G6″. They are the first Asian-American group to ever make it on the Billboard Hot 100; Like a G6 is currently peaking at #6. That’s an amazing achievement and I’m so happy for them!

I still remember when Like a G6 was first released on a mixtape back in November. It was busy times at work with all the craziness prepping for Xmas, and the only thing that kept me going in those early hours was FM’s super-packed-with-energy music. I was bumpin’ Like a G6 every morning while working at 6am, wondering why these guys haven’t had their big break yet. And now, nearly a year later, their song is playing everywhere! Not just in the States, but even here in Canada. That’s pretty awesome. Even though I don’t know them personally and they don’t know me, it’s still a nice feeling to know that the guys you’ve been supporting for years is finally making it. *Always repping with 3 fingers up!
