Which Destiny’s Child song became the group’s first US Billboard Hot 100 number-one single?

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

Released in 1999, the song was the lead single from the group’s second album, The Writing’s on the Wall. Its lyrics address an unreliable partner and the financial responsibilities he leaves behind, while the production helped establish the group’s late-1990s R&B-pop sound.

The single reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a major breakthrough for Destiny’s Child in the United States. “Say My Name,” another song from The Writing’s on the Wall, later became one of the group’s most recognized hits, but it was not their first Hot 100 chart-topper.

The group’s lineup changed over time, eventually centering Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams.
