Additional Destiny's Child Biography
Destiny's Child was an American R&B group. Originally a quartet, the group eventually became a trio consisting of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. According to the World Music Awards, Destiny’s Child is the best selling female group of all time. Billboard ranked the group as the greatest musical trio of all time. . On June 12, 2005, the group announced in Barcelona that they would no longer be performing together after completing their tour, and that they would be pursuing their own individual careers in music, theatre, television, and film.
Now a trio of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams, Destiny’s Child were chosen to record the theme song for the film version of Charlie’s Angels; released as a single in October 2000, "Independent Women, Pt. 1" raced up the charts and spent eleven consecutive weeks at number one (the longest running of 2000 and by a female group). They quickly began work on a new album to capitalize on their success. In February 2001, Destiny’s Child won two Grammy awards for "Say My Name", including Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group and Best R&B Song. While speaking with MTV.com, Rowland had this to say about the upcoming album: "I know everybody can relate to this album it’s very diverse and inspiring. The year 2000 was very challenging, and I know that gave Beyoncé a lot of inspiration to write songs for the album. We cannot wait for everybody to hear it. It’s so empowering for a lot of people who have already heard a little bit of it."
Her self-titled debut album (Letoya), was released in July 2006 and debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, outselling the compilation Now That's What I Call Music! and Pharrel Williams' debut album. The album was certified gold after one month and as of December 2006, the album has been certified platinum. The album's lead single, "Torn", also became a smash hit reaching number two on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Luckett is the second member of Destiny's Child, after Beyoncé Knowles, to have an album debut at number one on the Billboard 200 and achieve platinum status.
Williams became the first member of Destiny’s Child to have a solo project released. Heart to Yours, a contemporary gospel collection, reached number one on the Top Gospel Albums chart and sold 480,000 copies in the U.S and was certified gold.
On July 3, 2007 she released her 2nd studio-album Ms. Kelly, which features Like This, a collaboration with Eve and eleven other tracks. Like This peaked at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. The album Ms. Kelly debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart. The video for her second single, "Ghetto" premiered on BET's Access Granted on September 10, 2007. The song "Work" will be released as her second international single. She is also planning a re-release for early 2008.
Her 2003 solo debut, Dangerously in Love, debuted at number one and sold over four million copies in the United States and over ten million worldwide. It yielded the number-one hits "Crazy in Love" featuring hip hop superstar Jay-Z (certified 2x platinum), and "Baby Boy" featuring Sean Paul (certified platinum). Top-five songs "Me, Myself and I" and "Naughty Girl", the latter also certified gold, followed.
Knowles explained that doing the choreography rehearsals brought out the kids in them and that they were all 'goofy' during rehearsals. The video is for "Get Me Bodied" and will feature Beyoncé, Kelly, Michelle, and Beyoncé’s sister Solange. The video was released on the B'Day Anthology Video Album in early April 2007. She said, "It felt like old times..." Later in the episode she quoted that Destiny’s Child could reunite in 2007 to make a song or single/video. |
