The original, Grammy-winning 13-track B’Day was released in September 2006 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and featured songs co-produced by the singer and producers including Ne-Yo, the Neptunes, Stargate, Swizz Beatz, Darkchild, Nellee Hooper. It spawned the Billboard Hot 100 No. 4 Jay-Z-featuring hit “Déjà Vu,” the No. 11-charting “Ring the Alarm” and No. 3 hit “Beautiful Liar.”
B’Day has already had a number of versions, including an expanded, two-disc deluxe reissue that was released less than eight months after the original dropped, including a duet with Shakira on “Beautiful Liar,” as well as a duet with Alejandro Fernandez on “Amor Gitano,” along with the Spanish-language takes on “Listen,” “Irreplaceable” and “Beautiful Liar.” That deluxe take was accompanied by the B’Day Anthology Video Album, which contained 13 videos directed by such lauded music video mavens as Jake Nava, Sophie Muller, Diane Martel, Melina Matsoukas, Anthony Mandler and Bey herself.
