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. 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.[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.
