DESTINY'S CHILD
Name: Destiny's Child
Origin: Houston, Texas, United States
Genre(s): R&B, Pop
Destiny's Child was an American R&B and pop group. Originally a quartet, the
group eventually became a trio consisting of Beyonce Knowles , Kelly Rowland,
and Michelle Williams. According to the World Music Awards, Destiny's Child is
the best selling girl group. Billboard also ranked the group one of
the greatest musical trios 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.
The group made their recording debut with "Killing Time," which appeared on the
soundtrack for the 1997 film Men in Black. Destiny's Child released their debut
album Destiny's Child to mixed reviews on February 17, 1998. The albums first
single, "No, No, No", featured two completely different versions of the same
song. "No, No, No Part 1" and "No, No, No Part 2" were released simultaneously,
however, Part 2 was considered a "remix" version of Part 1. "No, No, No Part 2",
featuring The Fugees member Wyclef Jean, quickly climbed to number one on the
Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart and #3 on the Hot 100 chart.
The single sold over 1 million copies in the U.S. However, follow-up singles "With
Me Part 1" and "Get On The Bus" failed to reproduce the success of "No, No, No".
Although "With Me Part 1" had made a peaked at thirty-five on US Rhythmic Top 40
in 1998. Destiny’s Child eventually went Platinum after later success.
Expectations were not high for the group's second album, as most industry
critics considered them to be another disposable R&B girl group with one-hit
wonder status. The LP Destiny's Child eventually sold more than 3 million copies
worldwide. Destiny's Child failed awards & nominations. However, Destiny's Child
garnered 3 "Soul Train Lady of Soul" awards in 1998. They won for "Best R&B/Soul
Single for Group, Band or Duo" and "Best R&B/Soul or Rap, New Artist" for the
single "No, No, No", and "Best R&B/Soul Album of the Year, Group, Band, or Duo",
their self-titled debut, and was also nominated for "Best R&B/Soul or Rap Song
of the Year" for "No, No, No".
