What was the name of Beyoncé’s third studio album, released in 2008?

Beyoncé’s third studio album, released in 2008, was titled I Am... Sasha Fierce.

The album was designed as a two-disc project. The I Am... disc focused on more personal and vulnerable material, while the Sasha Fierce disc presented a bolder performance persona. The title referred to Sasha Fierce, a stage alter ego Beyoncé later said she used during performances.

The album produced major singles including “If I Were a Boy,” “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” “Halo,” and “Diva.” “Single Ladies” became especially prominent through its choreography and music video, while “Halo” became one of Beyoncé’s best-known ballads.

Listeners sometimes confuse the album with B’Day, her second studio album, or 4, her fourth. I Am... Sasha Fierce is specifically the 2008 release and helped extend Beyoncé’s international commercial success during the late 2000s.
