The Carters (stylized in all caps) are an American musical superduo consisting of singer and songwriter Beyoncé and rapper Jay-Z, who have been married since 2008. Their first album under the moniker, Everything Is Love, was released on June 16, 2018. The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Before formally naming their collaboration, the duo performed together on two world tours, On the Run Tour (2014) and OTR II (2018), and released a number of recording collaborations, beginning with the 2002 single "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" from Jay-Z's The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse.[1] The couple had their first Billboard Hot 100 number one single the following year with "Crazy in Love" from Beyoncé's debut solo album Dangerously in Love.[2] The duo has also collaborated in songwriting, including the number one hits "Baby Boy", "Savage (Remix)", and "Break My Soul".

Early collaborations
[edit]After working together on the music video for Amil's song "I Got That" in 2000, the couple went on to make their first recording collaboration with "'03 Bonnie & Clyde", which peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The duo co-wrote five tracks on Beyoncé's debut album, Dangerously in Love, including its lead single "Crazy in Love", which topped the charts in the US. This was followed by two collaborations on her follow-up, B'Day (2006), which spawned their single "Déjà Vu", which peaked at number 4 in the US and number one in the UK.
Following several of Beyoncé's appearances on Jay-Z's records Kingdom Come and Watch the Throne, the duo released the number two US hit, "Drunk in Love". Beyoncé then appeared on two songs on Jay-Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail (2013). The following year, the couple launched their first collaborative tour with On the Run Tour (2014), named after one of the collaborations from the record. The two later released two collaborations with DJ Khaled and worked on The Lion King: The Gift, which Beyoncé had curated.
Formation and Everything is Love
[edit]In 2014 and 2018, The Carters embarked on two world tours with On the Run Tour and On the Run Tour II. On June 16, 2018, during a concert in London as part of their On the Run II Tour, the Carters premiered the music video for "Apeshit". Following the conclusion of the video, the words "ALBUM OUT NOW" appeared on the screen.[3][4] Everything Is Love was released exclusively on Tidal for streaming and digital download, before being made available across all other platforms.[5][6] The record received positive reviews and debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. The album was later ranked as one of the best albums of the year by critics and won a Grammy Award for Urban Contemporary Album.
In 2020, Jay-Z co-wrote "Savage (Remix)" by Beyoncé, and Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé's solo single, "Black Parade". The former had reached the top of the charts in the United States, with all proceeds benefit Bread of Life Houston's COVID-19 relief efforts, which includes providing over 14 tons of food and supplies to 500 families and 100 senior citizens in Houston weekly.
