Talk:Destiny's Child

Place new comments at end please.

Vocal Profile

There should be a vocal profile on all of these girls.

Stalker

What is all this stuff about LaToya Langford and "A stalker by the name of LaToya Langford, a fan from San Diego, California began writing death threats to the group, more specifically aimed at Beyoncé if Knowles did not lick Lanford's vagina."

I can't find ANY evidence online about anything like this....

'Me finks' this is probably vandalism, but I'll leave it there for the time being incase it does turn out to be true...

Final Destiny and the Future section

It should considered about information about the individual future of the members as this section is becoming excessively long. Simply focus on the future of the group. Also in the discography, focus should on the group and solo sales deleted. People should read their individual articles to find about each members future. Wat y'all think?!!!

Break-up

They're not friends anymore, and they hate to keep traveling together, plus they hate to do all the work in order to make money. --ZachKudrna18@yahoo.com

That's a lie! I know them personally! They are still friends!

*Sigh* Don't mind this folks.You can clearly tell this is a Lie. =\ Kelsie.&adores;.You

Mattel Dolls

The article twice mentions Mattel making dolls of the girls. They can't be released in July 2005 and released in August 2005. Somebody that knows, please fix.

The dolls were released in August 2005. The article has been updated with the incorrect information removed.

Cleanup tag.

This article reads like a fan page, has no cohesive style, is improperly formatted, and is hard-to-read. --FuriousFreddy 00:54, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

sadly, this article is beyond repair :( at least for me, anyway. maybe someone will care enough/have time to fix it though. -- getcrunkjuice^contribs 02:56, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I Like the New Records Section

It is great to see all the accomplishments in one section.

one of the biggest selling girl band...the spice girls have sold double

they are ofter quoted as the biggest selling girl band (just ahead of tlc) selling 40 million albums and singles....but the spice girls sold 45 million albums and 30 million singles, thats almost DOUBLE Destiny's childs sales

and when the won the award for the one biggest selling girl group, that must have been for a group that was still around, there not the biggest selling of all time

the spice girls have sold more....... (and in a much shorter space of time)

i'm just stating facts

The sales you stated bare NO reality to fact. But you do bring up the point about which group has sold more records. It's a topic im investigating at the moment and will be reporting on it at a later date hopefully. Rimmers 00.22 13 March 2006 (UTC)

"Is to be quoted that they sold over 55million albums" anonymous 17.06 08 May 2006

The Spice Girls haven't sold more records than Destiny's Child. Many people who calculated their sales overlooked the conversions of platinum records in other countries. In America, a record is platinum if it sells one million copies. In Britain, the standard is like 300,000, because it is a significantly smaller country. Destiny's Child has sold more than 60 million albums, while the Spice Girls have sold 53 million.24.164.197.116 02:27, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Destiny's Child has sold a combined 100 million albums. This makes them (by far) the best-selling female group of all time.Jdot01 00:35, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

So not true, destiny's biggest seller was The writings on the wall, with about 12 mil sold worldwide, survivor around 9 mil and fulfilled about 7, the first album bout 2-3 mil and No 1's around the 3-4 mil mark as for the remix and christmas album compared to the others they pretty much sold nothing. i'd put Destiny around the 40 mil mark, the spices are second as dixie chicks have been announced the highest selling girl group of all time in any genre. im not completley sure about these figures although i have read them quite a few times in alot of diff places.

According to RIAA.com (who calculates sales minus returns), Destiny's Child has sold 17.5 million albums, coming behind TLC's 22 million and Dixie Chicks' 30.5 million. DC does, however, beat out Spice Girls with 11 million (UK platinum = 300k, US platinum = 1m). Even adding solo albums and singles doesn't put the sale's at 100 million. The Beatles are reported by RIAA as selling 170 million, while Garth Brooks sold 116 million. DC hasn't reached the same number of people as these guys. Furthermore, Beyonce, who's the most successful member, isn't even recorded on the RIAA with her counterparts, Alicia Keys and Brandy, who are both listed at 10.5 million sold. The point is they ARE NOT the best-selling female group of all time. More research should have been done to get the numbers right - it's all on the Net.

These are just the figures for the US we are talking about wordlwide sales, sure DC has sold more in the US but in most other countries Spice and Spiceworld sold twice as much as any DC album, considering Spice has sold like 23 mil worldwide, thats Writings on the wall and Surviors worldwide sales combined219.90.154.96 16:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Solo sales info included with group info

Why is the groups solo sales included in the introduction to the article? Their sales bare no connection to the groups sales.

Its a pretty blatent attempt at trying to make the groups sales look inflated and should be removed imo.

Rimmers 00.25 March 13 2006

I couldn't agree more. I read an article about the band, saying that they sold 50 million records. In the same article is said their debut sold 2 million copies worldwide, their second sold 10 million copies, third 9 million copies. That's only 21 million copies. Which means their last album and a remix CD sold 29 million copies? Highly doubtful. Even with Beyonce's sales included I doubt it totals to 29 million copies. Fact is TLC is the biggest selling female group. KingU 18:58, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

"Is to be verified that they sold 4,5million on its first album, 13,3million on its second, 11million on its third, 1million on its fourth, 0,6 on the remix, 9million on the sixth and 5million on its last album. Look for information on RIAA database where they show everything about record sales" anonymous 17.12 08 May 2006

Except the RIAA says that those figures are wrong

Beyoncé's summary and other bandmates on DC main article

Someone edited the parts showing the recent development of other bandmates and focused everything else on Beyoncé's part, this should be investigated with accuracy. Also added Gospel to Genre's and the last appearence is to be counted as years active

Destiny's Back?

Is it true that they could possibly have a 2009 album entitled, "Destiny's Back?" Is it a rumor? I must know if they getting back together.Blueandgold200 04:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Define 'together'? They said they are going to keep performing together and stuff like that. But it is uncertain if another Destiny Fullfilled is going to come out.

I mean like as a group. I read the tour in 2011 (how can you plan something so far away??) but I mean together/group.Blueandgold200 04:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Even though this is kinda off topic can someone help the new list of best-selling remix albums worldwide with its structure.

They are kinda like either promoting or recording their new albums. So I don't think they have time to record a new album..--68.240.136.251 03:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC)Ъ

I think it's only a matter of time before they release another album, but it probably wont be for many years. I read in an interview a while ago where Beyoncé said after Destiny Fulfilled it was going to be a while before we heard from them, but she never mentioned them never making another album. And besides, who cuts their career off at 4 albums? That's unheard of. They'll be back...Jdot01 00:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Eh? People who sell only 4 albums?

Pop songs

Why don't Destiny's Child's singles have pop in the genre? Survivor is a very poppy album and does not have pop in the genre. Charmed36 01:39, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Main section - plagiarism

Large portions of the main section of this piece are lifted directly from the All Music Guide. The passage immediately following the quote from Stephen Thomas Erlewine - the part about the LaToya Luckett law suit - is simply cut and pasted from AMG. Presumably this will be deleted?

Third Greatest Trio Of All Time: False

The third greatest trio fact from Billboard is misleading. Billboard did not actually rank Destiny's Child as the third greatest trio ever. They are one of 12 greatest trios listed third due to alphabeltical order. This should be changed on the main page...a sentence like "According to Billboard Magazine, they are one of the greatest trios of all time."

Under Background infomation

They didnt break up they are just not active they are like the backstreet boys and under background infomation Beyonce Michelle and Kelly are still part of destiny child

Another Destiny Child Reunion

On June 26th, 2007 Destiny Child reunited at the BET Awards 07 During the performance of Beyonce. After Commercials the awards came back with Beyonce appearing from under the stage. As her intro went on she lead into "Get Me Bodied" from her second debut album "B'Day. As Beyonce starts to sing the extended part of "Get Me Bodied" Michelle Williams & Beyonce's Sister Solonge are Beyonce's back-up dancers & then leave the stage as Beyonce walks on.As she finishes her song Mo'Nique appears and dances with Beyonce and then they introduce Kelly Rowland. As she enters from the Crowd Beyonce & Mo'Nique leave the stage. Kelly sings her first debut single from her upcoming album "Ms.Kelly" "Like This featuring EVE. As EVE raps her part of the song,Kelly leaves. As soon as EVE is finished Kelly pops up a pop-up toaster then soon does Beyonce,Michelle Williams, and Solonge. They then do there own solos to the rest of Kelly's song. The song ends and they get outstanding applause from the crowd!
