What was the name of Beyoncé’s former group that became one of the best-selling girl groups?

Beyoncé’s former group was Destiny’s Child. The group began in Houston in the early 1990s under earlier names and eventually signed with Columbia Records. Its best-known lineup consisted of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams, although the membership changed several times during the group’s history.

Destiny’s Child became internationally successful with songs including “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” “Bootylicious,” and “Independent Women.” Their music combined contemporary R&B with polished pop production, while their lyrics often emphasized independence, self-respect, and resilience. “Say My Name” won two Grammy Awards in 2001.

The group announced a temporary hiatus in 2002, allowing its members to pursue individual projects. Destiny’s Child later reunited for the album Destiny Fulfilled, released in 2004, and announced a final disbandment after its 2005 world tour. Beyoncé’s solo career expanded rapidly afterward, but Destiny’s Child remains the group that established her as a major recording artist.
