Live at Wembley is a live album by American singer Beyoncé, released on April 26, 2004. The DVD features her concert at Wembley Arena in London, England, as part of her Dangerously in Love Tour in support of her debut solo studio album Dangerously in Love (2003). Most of the songs on Live at Wembley originate from Dangerously in Love, although Beyoncé also performed a medley of past songs by her former group Destiny's Child. Live at Wembley was critically acclaimed, with AllMusic giving it a grade of three-and-a-half stars out of five. The cover of Rose Royce's "Wishing on a Star", included on the album, was nominated in the category for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 48th Grammy Awards (2006).
The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling 317,000 copies in its first week. It also charted on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums at number eight. It managed to top the DVD charts in the United States, Australia and Spain and peaked within the top-ten in Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy and the United Kingdom. The DVD was certified double Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album was also certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).
