On what date did Beyoncé release the studio album Renaissance?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé released the studio album Renaissance on July 29, 2022.

Renaissance is Beyoncé's seventh studio album and the first act of a planned trilogy. Columbia Records issued it internationally on that date, and it was preceded by the single “Break My Soul.”

The album draws heavily on dance music, house, disco, and Black queer club traditions. Its release followed a period in which Beyoncé issued fewer traditional studio albums, increasing anticipation among listeners.

Renaissance debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200. It is separate from the live concert film Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, which documented the tour supporting the album and was released in theaters in 2023.
