A historic double first for Beyoncé in 2003

Beyoncé is the first female artist and the fifth of all time to simultaneously top the singles and albums charts in the United States and the United Kingdom. This performance took place on July 12, 2003 with her single Crazy in Love and her album Dangerously in Love. Before her, only four artists or groups had achieved this feat, including the Beatles as well as Simon and Garfunkel.
