B'Day is the second studio album by American singer Beyoncé. It was released to coincide with her 25th birthday on September 4, 2006, by Columbia Records, Music World Entertainment, and Sony Urban Music. Originally set to be released in 2004, the album was planned as a follow-up to Beyoncé's solo debut Dangerously in Love (2003); however, it was delayed to accommodate the recording of Destiny's Child's final studio album Destiny Fulfilled (2004) and Beyoncé's starring role in the 2006 film Dreamgirls. While on vacation after filming Dreamgirls, Beyoncé began contacting various producers and rented Sony Music Studios, completing B'Day in two weeks. Most of the lyrical content of the album was inspired by Beyoncé's role in the film, with its musical style ranging from 1970s–1980s funk influences and balladry to urban contemporary elements such as hip hop and R&B. Live instrumentation was employed in recording most of the tracks as part of Beyoncé's vision of creating a record using live instruments. Upon its release, B'Day received generally favorable reviews from music critics and later earned several accolades, including the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards (2007). The album debuted atop the US Billboard 200, selling over 541,000 copies in its first week and scoring the third-highest debut-week sales for Beyoncé. It has been certified quintuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and has sold eight million copies worldwide. B'Day produced six singles–"Déjà Vu", "Ring the Alarm", "Irreplaceable", "Beautiful Liar", "Get Me Bodied" and "Green Light". "Irreplaceable" became Beyoncé's fourth US Billboard Hot 100 number-one single, while "Déjà Vu" and "Beautiful Liar" peaked within the top five. B'Day Anthology Video Album, which featured 13 music videos to accompany the songs, was released alongside the deluxe edition of B'Day. To further promote the album, Beyoncé embarked on her second solo concert tour The Beyoncé Experience (2007); a live album titled The Beyoncé Experience Live was also released.
