Beyoncé is gearing up for the 20th anniversary of her classic 2006 sophomore album, B’Day, with a deluxe 4LP vinyl edition featuring bonus material, collectibles and a September 18 ship date. Her company, Parkwood Entertainment, announced the preorder on August 26, with the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition now available on the Beyoncé’s official website.
The Deja Vu singer unveiled the 27-track digital tracklist and cover art to the deluxe edition, that will entail the original classic tracklist and Spanish language recordings (Irreemplazable, Amor Gitano, Oye, Bello Embustero, Mueve el Cuerpo), as well as fan-favorite vault rarities.
Beyoncé kickstarted the anniversary on July 4 with the unexpected release Morning Dew (Donk) – a leaked unfinished demo that was reworked into a formal release. It was followed by a 4-track remix package, with a Jay Z remix being a standout. The single was a commercial success, peaking at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Other vault and bonus tracks will include My First Time, Can I Watch You, Welcome to Hollywood, Lost Yo Mind, Creole, and Back Up.
Upon its 2006 release, B’Day was a commercial blockbuster debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and moving an impressive 542, 000 copies in its first week alone. The LP cemented her status as a solo powerhouse following her Dangerously in Love debut.
Irreplaceable was the album’s defining smash, spending 10 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming one of her characteristic empowerment anthems.
