''#1's'' is the first compilation album released by recording group Destiny's Child through Columbia Records on October 25, 2005. It marked their last album before a formal disbandment in late 2005, announced during the tour Destiny Fulfilled... and Lovin' It. The greatest hits album features the highest-charting singles from Destiny's Child's four studio albums released between 1998 and 2004 as well as a song from their remix album ''This Is the Remix'' released in 2002. In addition to already existing material, three new songs were recorded for the compilation —"Stand up For Love", "Feel the Same Way I Do" and group member Beyoncé's collaboration with Slim Thug, "Check on It". Following its release, ''#1's'' received positive reviews from music critics who praised the included material as the highlights of the group's music career. However, its title was dismissed as many of the songs included on the track listing hadn't reached the top position of a major record chart; it was later acknowledged by ''Billboard'' magazine that the title was only used as a marketing strategy. The compilation debuted and peaked on top of the US ''Billboard'' 200 album chart becoming the group's second album to reach number one in that country. It further peaked at number one in Japan and number six in the UK while also reaching the top forty in many European countries. The compilation received seven certifications by music trade organizations in different countries across the world. It further spawned two singles:"Stand up For Love", which failed to appear on a major music chart, and "Check on It", which reached number one on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and the top ten on many European charts. ==Background and release== Destiny's Child went to a hiatus, following the release of their third studio album ''Survivor'' (2001), allowing each member of the group to release solo material. As each member had success with their individual projects, questions arose by the public whether they would record again as a group.〔 However, group members Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams reunited again to work on their fourth studio album ''Destiny Fulfilled''. The album was released in late 2004 and the group further embarked on a worldwide tour Destiny Fulfilled... and Lovin' It the following year as part of its promotion. During a concert the group had at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, Spain on June 11, 2005, Rowland announced to the audience that the tour would be Destiny's Child last together, revealing their formal disbandment. It was announced that after their final North American leg, the group would part ways, with each member continuing their music career as a solo act.〔 During an interview, they explained that their disbandment was planned during the making of ''Destiny Fulfilled'' as they discussed their individual aspirations and realized that remaining as a group would prevent them in pursuing those interests. However, it was acknowledged that the album would not be their last album together. On August 1, 2005, Rowland announced the release of a greatest hits album later that year during an interview with ''Billboard'' magazine. She said, "We're definitely going to record another song for our greatest hits album for our fans. We're still thinking about it because we want it to mean something." In September, the album's title ''#1's'' was revealed along with a release date on October 25, 2005.〔 A DualDisc edition of ''#1's'' was also announced with the same songs of the standard edition mixed in 5.1 surround sound on a CD as well as bonus content on a DVD containing seven music videos and a trailer for the live album ''Destiny's Child: Live in Atlanta'' (2005).〔 The album was also released as a two-pack set at Walmart including the original CD and a DVD titled "Fan Pack II" which contained live performances of two songs, three music videos of the members' solo songs and bonus footage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=#1's (with Exclusive Bonus DVD) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Number 1's (Destiny's Child album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
