Which album became Beyoncé's first Billboard 200 number-one album when it was released in 2003?

Dangerously in Love became Beyoncé's first Billboard 200 number-one album when it was released in 2003.

The album debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 in July 2003. It sold more than 300,000 copies in its first week in the United States, giving Beyoncé an immediate solo chart milestone after years of success with Destiny's Child.

Its commercial performance was driven by “Crazy in Love” and “Baby Boy,” both major international hits. The album eventually received a multi-platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America and helped establish Beyoncé as a solo headliner.

The chart achievement is distinct from the album's Grammy results. Dangerously in Love won five awards at the 2004 Grammy Awards, including Best Contemporary R&B Album and Best R&B Song for “Crazy in Love.” Beyoncé later scored additional Billboard 200 number-one albums with B'Day, I Am... Sasha Fierce, 4, Beyoncé, Lemonade, and Renaissance.
