Which Beyoncé-led group won the 2001 Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group?

The story behind the answer

Destiny’s Child won the 2001 Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group.

The group received the award for “Say My Name,” one of the defining singles from their third studio album, The Writing’s on the Wall. The song became known for its tense relationship narrative, layered harmonies, and distinctive production by Rodney Jerkins and his team.

At the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2001, Destiny’s Child also won Best R&B Song for “Say My Name.” The group’s lineup during this period consisted of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. “Say My Name” was their first Grammy-winning song.

The award is sometimes confused with later Grammy wins for “Survivor” or with honors Beyoncé received as a solo artist. Destiny’s Child’s 2001 recognition came before Beyoncé’s solo debut album and marked an important milestone in the group’s rise to international prominence.
