After a string of successful projects with the group, she released her debut album “Dangerously in Love,” which spawned singles such as "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy", and earned her five Grammy Awards in a single night in 2004. Shortly after, She released her second album, “B'Day,” consisting of hits like "D骠 Vu" and "Irreplaceable,” the fourth solo number 1 single in the United States, and the album's most successful release.

That same year, She also scored the main role in the film adaptation of the 1981 Broadway musical Dreamgirls.
