Beyoncé's career began as the lead vocalist of the girl group Destiny's Child. During the group's hiatus,[5] she released her first solo album, Dangerously in Love (2003), which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart. With "Crazy in Love" and Dangerously in Love, Beyoncé became the first female artist to top the singles and albums charts simultaneously in both the United States and the United Kingdom.[6] As of 2011, Dangerously in Love had sold 11 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century.[7] After the disbandment of Destiny's Child in 2005,[8] Beyoncé released her second studio album, B'Day (2006), which debuted atop the Billboard 200 and was certified five-times platinum by the RIAA. As of 2013, the album had sold over eight million copies worldwide.[9]
Beyoncé's third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008), debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and was certified seven-times platinum by the RIAA.[10] By 2012, the album had sold 10 million copies worldwide, making it her second album to rank among the best-selling albums of the 21st century.[11] Beyoncé's next studio albums—4 (2011), Beyoncé (2013), and Lemonade (2016)—all reached number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Beyoncé was surprise-released on the iTunes Store on December 13, 2013, becoming the fastest-selling album on the store worldwide after three days of its release.[12] Lemonade was the best-selling album of 2016, with over 2.5 million copies sold worldwide.[13]
Beyoncé's seventh studio album, Renaissance (2022), became her seventh consecutive album to debut atop the Billboard 200 and received a double platinum certification by the RIAA.[14] Cowboy Carter (2024), her eighth studio album, reached number one in several countries worldwide, including the United States, Australia, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom. With Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé became the first female artist to debut her first eight solo albums atop the Billboard 200 chart and the first Black woman to top the US Top Country Albums chart.[15]
As the Carters, Beyoncé released the collaborative album Everything Is Love (2018) with her husband Jay-Z. She curated the soundtrack album The Lion King: The Gift for the photorealistic animated film The Lion King (2019). Both albums reached number two on the Billboard 200 and received gold certifications by the RIAA. Beyoncé's live albums Live at Wembley, The Beyoncé Experience Live, I Am... Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas, and I Am... World Tour all received multi-platinum certifications in the United States. Her fifth live album, Homecoming: The Live Album (2019), which chronicles her 2018 Coachella performance, reached number four on the Billboard 200 and received a gold certification by the RIAA.
