Which girl group first made Beyoncé famous?

The story behind the answer

Destiny’s Child was the girl group that first made Beyoncé famous.

The group formed in Houston in the early 1990s and originally performed under other names, including Girl’s Tyme. Its breakthrough came after signing with Columbia Records and releasing the 1998 single “No, No, No Part 2.”

Destiny’s Child became one of the best-selling girl groups in music history. Its best-known lineup consisted of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. Songs such as “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious” helped establish the group internationally.

The group went on hiatus in 2002, allowing its members to pursue individual projects. Destiny’s Child later reunited for selected performances, but Beyoncé’s solo debut in 2003 began her long-term career as a leading solo artist.
