Destiny's Child (sometimes abbreviated as DC or DC3) was an American R&B and pop girl group comprising lead singer Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. The group released four major studio albums and four US number-one singles, and has sold over 40 million records worldwide, 17.5 million of which in the United States.[1][2] According to the World Music Awards, they are the world's best-selling female group of all time.[3][4] Billboard magazine ranked the group as one of the greatest musical trios of all time.[5]Formed in 1990 in Houston, Texas, Destiny's Child members began their musical endeavors in their pre-teens, as a quartet under the name Girls' Tyme. After years of struggling, they signed in to Columbia Records and changed their name. Their self titled debut album was moderately successful, but it was the release of The Writing's on the Wall, their second studio album in 1999, that launched the group into mainstream recognition with such singles as "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Bug a Boo" and "Say My Name". However, despite critical and commercial success, the group was plagued by internal conflict and legal turmoil, as members LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett attempted to terminate the group's manager (and Knowles' father) Matthew Knowles, citing favoritism over Knowles and Rowland. They were soon replaced with Williams and Farrah Franklin; however, in 2000, Franklin also parted with the group, and they continued as a trio.Their third album, Survivor, which the public interpreted as a channel to their experience, eclipsed the success of their previous efforts, with the worldwide hits "Independent Women", "Survivor" and "Bootylicious". In 2002, Destiny's Child announced a temporary hiatus, which allowed its members to pursue individual success. They re-united with 2004's Destiny Fulfilled, and a year later during their world tour, announced that the group would permanently disband, and it's members would pursue solo careers in music, theater, television, and film.
