Destiny's Child: Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Beyonce Knowles (vocals).
Additional personnel: Wyclef Jean (vocals); Lil Wayne, Slim Thug, T.I. (rap vocals); Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Byron Rittenhouse.
Recording information: 1999 - 2005.
Destiny's Child were the biggest female R&B group of the late 1990s and early 2000s, with a superstar status rivaled only by TLC. Despite the media circus surrounding the strife between the three core members of the group, Destiny's Child managed to rack up an astonishing string of #1 hits, all of which are collected on the appropriately named #1'S.
Early smashes like the smooth, rhythmically stuttering "Bills, Bills, Bills," the moody mid-tempo slow jam "Say My Name," and "Independent Women Part 1" (the theme to the film CHARLIE'S ANGELS) are here, of course, as are later hits like their cover of the Gibb brothers' "Emotion" and the sweeping inspirational ballad "Stand Up for Love," the anthem for World Children's Day 2005. With their seductive delivery, elaborate vocal embellishments, and call-and-response dynamics, Destiny's Child cast the mold for urban contemporary R&B at the turn of the century, topping it off with a slick production informed by hip-hop. An overview that shows the group doing what they do best, #1'S is a testament to their reigning influence and superstar status.

| | Destiny's Child Wrap It Up With This Collection Of (Ahem) #1's
by speeddemon531, 11/5/2005 |

Pros: Classic singles from Destiny's Child's 7 year reign as the #1 girl group around.
Cons: A little too much Beyonce. Some weak new songs.
The Bottom Line: Strong vocals, strong harmonies (although not strong lyrics) made DC a hot group for nearly a decade. "#1's" collects all of their classic moments in one place.
Review: Nothing sells records like hyperbole-and I guess that's the easiest way to start off a review of a c
