Beyoncé performed alongside Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams in Destiny’s Child.
The group became one of the best-selling female groups in music history. Its best-known lineup consisted of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams, although the group had earlier lineup changes before reaching that configuration.
Destiny’s Child achieved major success with songs including “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” “Bootylicious,” and “Independent Women Part I.” The group’s recordings combined contemporary R&B with pop hooks and themes of independence and self-confidence.
The members pursued solo projects while Destiny’s Child was active, and the group officially announced its breakup in 2005. Beyoncé’s later solo career began during the group’s hiatus, while Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams also released solo music and performed in other projects.
