Biography :
One of the most recognizable characters in modern-day R&B, Beyoncé first
rose to fame as the siren-voiced centerpiece of Destiny's Child before
embarking on a multi-platinum solo career in 2001. Booming record sales,
Grammy awards, movie roles, and a romance with rapper/CEO Jay-Z combined
to heighten her profile in the 2000s, making the singer a virtual mainstay
in the entertainment world. While some media outlets derisively championed
Paris Hilton as "the next Marilyn Monroe," Beyoncé was
a much better contender for the role, her glittering pop culture persona
only matched by her success onscreen and on record. |
| After a series of commercially successful releases with the
group, Beyoncé released her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love,
in June 2003. The album became one of the biggest commercial successes
of the year, topping the albums charts in the United States and the United
Kingdom. It also spawned the number-one singles "Crazy in Love" and "Baby
Boy" and earned Beyoncé five Grammy Awards in a single night
in 2004. Beyoncé's second album, B'Day, was released worldwide on
September 4, 2006 to coincide with her twenty-fifth birthday. The album
spawned the UK number-one singles "Déjà Vu" and "Beautiful
Liar", as well as the worldwide hit "Irreplaceable". It
also earned Beyoncé her seventh solo Grammy Award, garnering a total
of ten. |
| Beyoncé also achieved success in the film industry,
starring in such Hollywood films as the 2006 comedy The Pink Panther and
the 2006 musical film Dreamgirls, which earned her two Golden Globe Award
nominations—one for acting and other for Dreamgirl's soundtrack "Listen". Read
