What is the name of Beyoncé’s 2006 studio album?

Beyoncé’s 2006 studio album is titled B’Day.

Columbia Records released B’Day on September 4, 2006, Beyoncé’s 25th birthday. The album followed her 2003 solo debut, Dangerously in Love, and was recorded in a comparatively short period after she completed work on the film Dreamgirls, in which she played Deena Jones.

The album produced several prominent singles, including “Déjà Vu,” “Ring the Alarm,” “Irreplaceable,” and “Beautiful Liar,” the latter a duet with Shakira on a later deluxe edition. “Irreplaceable” became one of Beyoncé’s biggest United States hits and spent ten weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

The title is a stylized reference to Beyoncé’s birthday rather than a conventional descriptive phrase. It is often confused with “B’Day Anthology Video Album,” a related video release, or with Beyoncé’s later album 4. The original studio album and its editions have different track lists and release details.
