In 2018, Rap queen Nicki Minaj reigned in Hot 100 history books when she became the first female act (of any genre) to collect over 100 hits on the chart.  After only two years of owning the title, however, her “Minajesty” was dethroned by Taylor Swift in August 2020 when all the tunes from the Country-turned-Pop diva’s latest album, ‘folklore,’ were penciled on the tally – pushing her overall chart entry count to 113 (as we reported here).

Swift fans barely had two months to celebrate the win as Nicki tied the total when her remix to Sada Baby‘s ‘Whole Lotta Choppas’ impacted the hit list (as we reported just three weeks ago).

Fast forward to this week, Billboard has confirmed the 37-year-old has powered past Taylor again.

16 years ago today, the ladies of Destiny’s Child released their final album as a group.

The aptly-titled ‘Destiny Fulfilled’ saw the stars kick it together one more time before pursuing their flourishing solo runs.

Today’s From The Vault pick is its high-octane lead single ‘Lose My Breath.’ Can y’all keep up?

‘Breath’ was produced by the great Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins and was written by DC alongside Sean Garrett. Shawn Carter aka Jay-Z also has a songwriting credit on the track.

Lyrically, the ladies make clear to a potential bae that he had to put his money where his mouth is and rise to the occasion before it’s too late.

The single was yet another success for our faves, charting inside the Top 3 in the US and the UK at #3 and #2 respectively. It peaked inside the Top 5 in most of the countries was released in. How’s that for a comeback?!

Marc Klasfeld directed the song’s visual, which saw three different versions of the group – backed by an army of dancers – battling it out in these streets. It was a darker and grittier vibe for the girls, one that proved successful as it remains to this day a fan favorite. The video was nominated at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards in the Best Dance Video but lost to Missy Elliott and Ciara’s ‘Lose Control.’

Though ‘Destiny Fulfilled’ and its accompanying tour served as parting gifts, the era wasn’t the last we saw of the collective, thankfully. Kelly and Michelle made a high-profile appearance during Beyoncé’s 2013 Super Bowl performance, they each have been featured on one another’s albums, and not more than two short years ago, the trio took the stage of Coachella where Beyoncé headlined, leaving the world thirsty for more.

The fact that they’ve never actually ruled out the possibility of reuniting for a substantial reunion also gives us hope that there might be some activity in the future. Hopefully in the near future.

In the meantime, we’ll keep jamming to this track.

Destiny’s Child, we’re ready when you are.
