Sadder still, not one of our girls were among the top 20 album list by the magazine for the same time frame. Read the full story

Love her or hate her, we all know that Beyonce is a superstar. Her star shines so brightly that has been difficult for her fellow Destiny Childers, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, to find their own solo success (why do those projects get pushed back time and again?).
