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.

2020’s undoubtedly been Doja Cat‘s breakthrough year thanks to the 3x Platinum success of her inaugural Hot 100 chart-topper, ‘Say So,’ as well as other Platinum-certified singles ‘Like That’ and ‘Juicy.’

Yet, just a week after fans learned those tunes’ parent album – ‘Hot Pink’ – had lodged an entire year on the Billboard 200 (click here to read more), Doja’s sending out reminders she’s far from resting on her laurels.

Taking to ‘WWD’ recently, the 25-year-old dished at length about her plans for 2021 which apparently include a partnership with U.K. fashion brand PrettyLittleThing as well as her highly anticipated new album (which we reported here).

Commercially, ‘Changes’ continues to prove itself an inadvertently apt description for Justin Bieber‘s last era.

Coincidentally kicked off by the R&B-flavored ‘Yummy,’ the project – despite topping the Billboard 200 in February – has been his least consumed by music lovers to date.

Yet, despite not knowing the out-of-the-box success of its predecessors ‘Purpose,’ ‘Believe,’ and ‘My World 2.0,,’ ‘Changes’ can now at least boast a similar stat:  Platinum status.

The era that supported the 2019 stripper film, ‘Hustlers,’ became career defining for Jennifer Lopez.

Accompanied by award nominations and even Oscar buzz, the Lorene Scafaria-directed film not only earned J.Lo showers of critical acclaim but is also lodged in her personal record book as the best box office success of her career to date.

Among those particularly unimpressed with her performance, however, was Samantha Barbash – the woman who Lopez’s character in the flick was allegedly based on.  First making headlines for threatening to sue the movie’s production company for “stealing her story” (as we reported here), unsuccessful negotiations led Barbash to press forward with a whopping $40 million defamation of character lawsuit (as we reported here).

Months after making headlines for doing so, Samantha’s going home empty-handed after a judge tossed her case.
