Number 1's (Destiny's Child album)
Encyclopedia
#1's is a compilation album
released by R&B
group Destiny's Child
containing songs from their albums The Writing's on the Wall
, Survivor, This Is The Remix
, and Destiny Fulfilled
. Although it contains No, No, No Part II
, the version used is a shortened form of the Extended Remix featured on their remix album, meaning that no actual song from their self-titled debut was used.
It was released on October 25, 2005, charting at number one on the Billboard 200
album chart and number six on the UK Album Chart. It is the best selling greatest-hits album by a female group and it was the group's first album to reach number one album in the United States
after 2001's "Survivor".
Sal Cinquemani criticized the album's title because only four of the singles — "Bills, Bills, Bills," "Say My Name," "Independent Women Part I" and "Bootylicious" — reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100
. However, Cinquemani praised Destiny's Child's "impressive output, which includes some of the most recognizable R&B hits of the past bling/celly/status-obsessed five years". John A. Hanson of Sputnikmusic
rated the album 3.5 out of 5 and summarized, "The album hits you with recognizable hit after recognizable hit, and they are all pretty much as perfect as contemporary R&B-pop gets." Yahoo! Music
's Hattie Collins wrote, "Despite the low-points, this is a Destiny's Child must have collection of classics from one of R&B's most significant talents."
