These Iconic Black Albums Turn 20 In 2025 – And Honestly, They Still Go Hard

Okay, technically not a new studio album, but this marked the final bow for the group before Bey went full solo. The compilation brought together their chart-topping hits, a reminder of just how dominant they were across the late ’90s and early 2000s. “Independent Women Part I “, “Survivor”, “Bootylicious”, these weren’t just songs; they were cultural moments. “Stand Up For Love” was released as the group’s farewell single, a big ballad with big emotions that felt like a group hug and a mic drop at the same time. This album closed the Destiny’s Child chapter with grace, glam, and gratitude.

Fun fact: Fans were already calling this the “Beyoncé exit album”, and months later, she dropped “B’Day.” No lies detected.
