Answer
Destiny’s Child
Answer
Destiny’s Child
Destiny’s Child’s first major-label studio album was titled Destiny’s Child.
Columbia Records released the album on February 17, 1998. It introduced the group’s early sound before the larger commercial breakthrough of The Writing’s on the Wall, released in 1999. Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett were credited as members of the original quartet.
The self-titled album included “No, No, No,” which became an important early single for the group. Its success helped establish Destiny’s Child in the late-1990s R&B market and set up the group’s later international recognition.
A common mix-up is calling The Writing’s on the Wall the debut album because it produced bigger hits such as “Bills, Bills, Bills” and “Say My Name.” That album was the follow-up, not the debut. Destiny’s Child later became one of the best-selling female groups in music history.
