Knowles released her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love. The album entered the Billboard 200 at number one selling 317,000 copies in its first week.

It was certified Platinum just three weeks later on June 22, 2003. Its first single, the funky “Crazy in Love”, was a track constructed around a propulsive riff sampled from The Chi-Lites’ 1970 “Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)” and featured a guest rap from Jay-Z.

Dangerously in Love went to the top of the album charts in the UK, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Greece, and the Philippines, and peaked on both the U.S. Billboard 200 and R&B charts. The album has sold over four million copies in the U.S. and over eight million copies worldwide. When her single and album simultaneously topped the main charts in both the U.S. and the UK, she became the first act to achieve this feat since Men at Work in 1983 and The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and Rod Stewart in the 1960s and 1970s; she is the first and so far the only female artist to do this. Beyoncé was consequently one of the biggest-selling artists of 2003.

Towards the end of the summer, “Baby Boy”, the second single from Dangerously in Love, which featured dancehall artist Sean Paul, began to climb the charts. It went on to become one of the biggest hits of 2003, dominating radio airplay in the autumn of 2003, and spending nine weeks at number one — one week longer than “Crazy in Love”.
