At age 8, Beyoncé joined the girl group "Girl's Tyme", with whom she appeared on the national talent search TV show Star Search. In 1995, the group was signed by the label Grass Roots Entertainment. The next year, in 1996, they changed their name to "Destiny's Child".

The freshly renamed R&B group released their first, self-titled debut album, "Destiny's Child", in February 1998. It became a hit, peaking at the #14 spot on Billboard's Hip Hop/R&B charts, and on the #67 spot on the famous overall Billboard 200 chart. They produced 4 more widely successful albums together. The last one came out in 2004, with a title that suggested the end: “Destiny Fulfilled”. Beyoncé had already announced her departure from the group to focus on her solo projects in 2001, she just joined the reunion to make one last album with her group in 2004.

Her debut solo album was released in June 2003, entitled “Dangerously in Love”. That too became a massive hit, selling 11 million copies worldwide, and topping the Billboard 200 upon its release. The standout track on the record was “Crazy in Love”, featuring her future husband Jay-Z.

Since then, the American R&B superstar has released 6 more solo albums since, thus she has 7 in total. The best selling one among them has remained her first one, “Dangerously in Love”.
