"Bills Bills Bills" becam their first no1 pop hit

Destiny's Child re-entered the studio quickly, bringing in producer Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs to handle the majority of their next record. Lead single "Bills, Bills, Bills" became the group's first number one pop hit (and second R&B number one) in the summer of 1999, and paced by its success, the accompanying album, The Writing's on the Wall, entered the charts at number six upon its release. That was just the beginning of the group's breakout success. The group received complete stardom and 7 million album sales with songs like "Bills, Bills, Bills," "Say My name" and "Jumpin' Jumpin" rose to number-one in charts. The second single, "Bug a Boo," didn't perform as well, but the third single, "Say My Name," was another massive hit, their biggest so far; it hit number one on both the pop and R&B charts for three weeks apiece in early 2000, and made Destiny's Child a pop-cultural phenomenon. However, at the peak of Say My Name's popularity, the group splintered.
