Which group launched Beyoncé’s recording career in the late 1990s?

The story behind the answer

Destiny’s Child launched Beyoncé’s recording career in the late 1990s.

The group began in Houston in the early 1990s under earlier names, including Girl’s Tyme. Its core commercial lineup eventually became Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams, although the membership changed several times before the trio’s most successful period.

Destiny’s Child signed with Columbia Records and released its self-titled debut album in 1998. The album included “No, No, No Part 2,” which became the group’s first major hit and introduced Beyoncé to a broad international audience.

The group later released The Writing’s on the Wall, Survivor, and Destiny Fulfilled. Destiny’s Child announced a final disbandment after performing together in 2006, while all three members continued individual careers.
