In which group did Beyoncé first become internationally famous before her solo career?

Beyoncé first became internationally famous as a member of Destiny’s Child.

The group developed from a Houston singing group originally known as Girl’s Tyme. Its lineup changed several times before Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams became the best-known trio. Destiny’s Child’s breakthrough came with songs such as “Bills, Bills, Bills,” “Say My Name,” and “Survivor.”

The group became one of the best-selling female groups in music history. Beyoncé was its lead singer and a prominent songwriter, but Destiny’s Child was a group achievement rather than a solo project. The trio’s final studio album, Destiny Fulfilled, was released in 2004.

People sometimes confuse Destiny’s Child with the earlier Girl’s Tyme name or assume that the group began as a duo. Girl’s Tyme was the precursor, while Destiny’s Child was the name under which Beyoncé achieved widespread international recognition.
