Beyoncé’s 2006 solo studio album released after Dangerously in Love was titled B’Day.
B’Day was released on September 4, 2006, Beyoncé’s 25th birthday. The album’s title is a stylized reference to both her birthday and the word “birthday.” It followed her 2003 solo debut and continued her development as a solo R&B and pop artist.
The album produced major singles including “Déjà Vu,” featuring Jay-Z, “Ring the Alarm,” and “Irreplaceable.” “Irreplaceable” became one of Beyoncé’s most successful singles and spent ten weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
B’Day won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in 2008. It is distinct from 4, Beyoncé’s fourth studio album, which was released in 2011.
