What group did Beyoncé first achieve major fame with in the late 1990s?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé first achieved major fame with Destiny’s Child.

The group developed from a Houston girl group originally called Girl’s Tyme. Its lineup changed during the 1990s, and the best-known trio consisted of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. Destiny’s Child became one of the most successful girl groups in recording history.

Their breakthrough came with songs including “No, No, No,” “Bills, Bills, Bills,” and “Say My Name.” The group’s albums The Writing’s on the Wall and Survivor produced several major international hits and established Beyoncé as its leading vocalist.

Destiny’s Child officially disbanded after performing together in the mid-2000s, although the members have reunited for occasional appearances. Beyoncé’s solo career began while the group was still active, with her first solo album arriving in 2003. Destiny’s Child is sometimes mixed up with TLC or En Vogue, but neither group launched Beyoncé’s career.
