The singer’s “A Seat at the Table” just hit the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart.

The Knowles sisters are now among the few sibling solo artists to both have number one albums. Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson share the accomplishment. As do Master P and his brother Silkk the Shocker.

The Houston Texas native is a business woman. She launched her own record label, Saint Records in 2013. She co-released her number one album on the label along with Columbia Records this year. She’s also a successful deejay.

Knowles, 30, performed as a backup dancer on tour with Destiny’s Child. She’s also written music for her sister and Kelly Rowland.

Knowles is a proud mother to her son, Daniel Julez Smith Jr. She divorced his father, Daniel Smith, in 2007 and married Alan Ferguson in 2014.
