They're back.
Nearly eight years after they split up in 2005, the legendary trio of Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams have announced they are releasing a new song, "Nuclear", that will debut in stores this month.The song will be part of a compilation of songs on their newly released album, "Destiny's Child -- Love Songs," which will appear in stores Jan. 29.
Beyonce, who has sold more than 75 million records worldwide, announced the availability of the album today on her website. "I am so proud to announce the first original Destiny's Child music in eight years!" Beyonce wrote.
Rowland also confirmed the news on her Twitter account. "Hi guys! I'm happy to announce new music from Destiny's Child in eight years!" she tweeted.
The group, Destiny's Child, took the early 2000s by storm with such hits as "Survivor," "Independent Women," "Say My Name" and "Bills, Bills, Bills," just to name a few. Selling more than 50 million albums in the U.S., the trio became one of the best selling women's groups of all time.
