The Grammys. The fragrance. The new album. Black Eyed Peas front woman Stacy Ann Ferguson is having the year of her life. Glamour columnist Katie Couric finds out how this down-to-earth California girl made it all happen.

KATIE COURIC: Two number-one singles with the Black Eyed Peas that spent a consecutive 26 weeks at the top of the charts, the longest streak for any group in years. Six Grammys, a worldwide concert tour and now a new album. I mean, do you sometimes have to pinch yourself?

FERGIE: I kind of am right now, hearing all of that. Because, you know, I don’t just bask in everything. My mom and dad and stepdad ordered display cases for Josh and me to put our awards in. They haven’t arrived yet, but it’s nice to think about getting my awards out of the safe and putting them in one by one. Because when you’re in the middle of it, you don’t just sit there and give yourself gold stars all the time.

KATIE COURIC: Where are you putting these cases?

FERGIE: Right in the lobby [of our house]. I’m going through an evolution. I’m completely cleaning out my closet. I’m purging, because I saw that show Hoarders. I had a sweatshirt from sixth grade, and I’m going, Why do I hold on to this? I talked to my therapist and realized that [it’s because] when I was growing up, my mom would get [me] clothes donated from the church. And part of me was just holding on to things, thinking it was all going to go away.

KATIE COURIC: Not to play therapist, but that’s probably indicative of the uncertainty of show business, never knowing if you’re going to hit it big. How did you keep going?

FERGIE: Well, for some lucky reason or gift from God, I’ve known what I wanted to do since I was a little girl. And even through disappointments and rejection, there was something inside of me that wouldn’t give up. I’m a survivor, and I’m very driven.

KATIE COURIC: All right, in the completely shallow department, you have a sick body, woman.

FERGIE: Thank you, mama!

KATIE COURIC: [Laughs.] No, seriously, damn. How do you do that?

FERGIE: I work out all the time.

KATIE COURIC: I’m curious—what kinds of things do you do for exercise?

FERGIE: Cardio, resistance and a lot of jogging. I love to go hiking. I’m bringing my trainer on tour. I said I’m going to invest this in myself, into my self-worth, into my self-esteem.

Black Eyed Peas vocalist and six-time Grammy-winning artist Fergie will receive the Woman of the Year Award at the 2010 Billboard Women in Music Event on Dec. 2 in New York.

“I am humbled and excited to accept the Billboard Woman of the Year Award,” Fergie says. “Being honored by Billboard is a great career achievement.”

Fergie spent 2010 touring the world alongside her Black Eyed Peas bandmates on the Blackberry Presents: The E.N.D. World Tour, performing hits from the group’s hugely successful 2009 album, “The E.N.D.”

The Black Eyed Peas own the longest streak of consecutive weeks spent at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart by any artist in the chart’s 52-year history, with 2009 singles “Boom Boom Pow” reigning for 12 weeks and “I Gotta Feeling” for 14. Additionally, “I Gotta Feeling” is the best-selling digital song in Nielsen SoundScan history.

“The E.N.D.” is first album in two decades by a group to yield five top 10 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart. The album has sold 2.8 million copies in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan.

On. Nov. 30, the Black Eyed Peas will release “The Beginning,” their sixth album and an aptly-titled follow-up to “The E.N.D.” The album’s first single is “The Time (The Dirty Bit),” which will be released Nov. 9.

As a solo artist, Fergie released 2006’s “The Dutchess,” an album that spawned three No. 1 songs on the Hot 100. “The Dutchess” became the first debut collection by a female artist since 1990 to generate five top 10 singles.

In addition to her thriving music career and extensive charity work related to breast cancer awareness, Fergie has seen success with her fragrance line Outspoken, her multiple fashion lines under Fergalicious and her acting career.

“Fergie took the music industry by storm the moment she came onto the scene, and we’re thrilled to celebrate her career achievements and incredible successes over the past year by honoring her with the Billboard Woman of the Year Award,” says Bill Werde, Billboard’s editorial director. “Fergie is a unique artist with great business savvy, style and an unbelievable dedication to philanthropic efforts, making her an inspiration to aspiring female artists everywhere.”

Billboard’s annual Women in Music Event celebrates the most powerful and talented women in the music business, coinciding with the publication of Billboard’s Women in Music Power Players list.
