Destiny's Child's Self-Titled Debut: Where Are They Now? - 15 years ago, on Feb. 17, 1998, Destiny's Child introduced themselves to the world with their self-titled debut album. The album sold more than a million copies and produced the number one R&B/hip hop hit "No, No, No." It was the beginning of the foursome's legendary run, which would see them become one of the best selling girl groups of all time. But they didn't do it alone — several rappers, producers and songwriters, both renowned and unknown, helped put this key album on the map.

But his Music World Entertainment celebrated its 20th anniversary last year and it's still one of the the largest gospel labels in the game. Last year, Knowles was behind the MTV International reality show Breaking From Above. (Photo: Mark Davis/PictureGroup)
