2005 Destiny’s Child – #1’s
#1’s is the first greatest hits album by American girl group Destiny’s Child. It was released on October 21, 2005, by Columbia Records, Music World Entertainment and Sony Urban Music.
Following a two-year hiatus during which each member released solo albums to varying levels of success, Destiny’s Child reunited during the summer of 2004 to record their fifth and final studio album Destiny Fulfilled, which was released that November to widespread commercial success. To further promote the album, the group embarked on the world tour Destiny Fulfilled… and Lovin’ It in April 2005. During its Barcelona show on June 11, Kelly Rowland announced the group’s disbandment for after the tour’s conclusion. However, before formally disbanding, they decided to release #1’s, featuring their highest-charting singles alongside two new tracks, “Stand Up for Love” and “Feel the Same Way I Do”. The adult contemporary-styled ballad “Stand Up for Love” was inspired by poverty-stricken children and families receiving funds from charitable organizations. Lyrically, the song encourages unity.
