In sports, the term dynasty is often used to refer to a team that dominates their sport for a period of time. Such dominance is usually recognized only after a team has won many championships in a given time (3 in 4 years, 5 in 8 years, 7 in 12 years, etc.). The exact requirements for the label is a frequent topic of debate among sports fans.

Dynasty is a studio album by the American hard rock band Kiss. It was released less than a year after the four solo albums, which were commercial disappointments. The album, and its subsequent tour, were billed as the "Return of Kiss."

Dynasty was a R&B band based in Los Angeles, California, created by producer and SOLAR Records label head Dick Griffey and Leon Sylvers III. The band was known for their clever dance/pop numbers during the late 1970’s and 1980’s. Bassist Kevin Spencer and vocalists Nidra Beard and Linda Carriere comprised the group.
