#1's: Destiny's Child

Editors’ Notes From righteous anthems of empowerment (“Survivor,” “Independent Women, Pt. 1”) to heady jams for a night when you’re truly feelin’ yourself (“Say My Name,” “Bootylicious”), this collection of hits is impressive in both breadth and top-quality consistency. The final release from Destiny’s Child before they announced they were splitting up, #1’s boasts countless recognizable hooks—the lilting refrain of “Bills, Bills, Bills,” the nursery-rhyme intro of “Jumpin’ Jumpin’”—that stand as a testament to the enduring potency of the R&B squad’s formidable catalog.
