Which Destiny’s Child song became Beyoncé’s first US Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit?

“Bills, Bills, Bills” became Beyoncé’s first US Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit with Destiny’s Child.

The song was released in 1999 as the lead single from The Writing’s on the Wall, Destiny’s Child’s second studio album. Its lyrics describe a relationship in which one partner repeatedly creates financial and personal problems. The track’s polished R&B production helped establish the group as a major force in late-1990s popular music.

“Bills, Bills, Bills” was written by Beyoncé, LaShawn Daniels, Kelly Rowland, LeToya Luckett, and several collaborators, with production by Kevin “She’kspere” Briggs. It remained at number one on the US chart for one week.

Some listeners choose “Say My Name,” another major Destiny’s Child hit. That song also reached number one, but it came later. “Bills, Bills, Bills” was the group’s first chart-topper and therefore Beyoncé’s first US Hot 100 number one.
