Dangerously in Love is the debut album by American R&B singer Beyoncé, released on June 24, 2003 in the United States and June 23 2003 in the United Kingdom via Columbia Records. It features the Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Crazy in Love" (featuring Jay-Z), "Baby Boy" (featuring Sean Paul) as well as the top five hits "Naughty Girl" and "Me, Myself and I". It debuted and peaked at number-one for one week on the U.S. Billboard 200. It spent fifty-one weeks on the top fifty and seventy-two weeks in the top one hundred.

It spent fifty-four weeks in the UK Albums Chart. Knowles is the first female artist (and the fifth artist ever) to top both singles (for "Crazy in Love") and albums chart simultaneously for both the U.S. and the UK, following The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Rod Stewart, and Men at Work. The album earned her five Grammy Awards in 2004 (see Grammy Awards of 2004).

Miscellaneous

  • The album's release was announced for autumn of 2002, but Columbia Records and Beyoncé's management decided to give Kelly Rowland priority after her chart-topping success with Nelly and "Dilemma".
  • "Naughty Girl" was originally to be the first single from Dangerously in Love, as "Crazy in Love" was the last track recorded.
  • The worldwide success of Dangerously in Love caused Beyoncé and Columbia Records to think about an immediate follow-up, that would combine several left-over tracks for another CD. The idea was scrapped to instead release the Destiny's Child album Destiny Fulfilled.
