Even if you never want to reveal your age, some B'days are milestones worth celebrating. Beyoncé is set to commemorate the 20th anniversary of her second solo album, B'Day , on Sept. 4, the singer's actual 45th birthday.
The reissue expands the original 10-song track list (overlooking the hidden tracks) to a 27-song celebration that includes the album's B sides, Spanish-language versions of songs, and the recently released "Morning Dew (Donk)." Physical copies will be available on CD and a four-LP edition, pressed to "bayou blue" vinyl that includes a 60-page booklet and two prints priced at two cents shy of $150. Abridged two-discs versions come cheaper. Full details are on the artist's webstore .
B'Day came out originally in the summer of 2006 and was a Number One hit. It's since been certified quintuple platinum by the RIAA. Its initial release included the hits "Irreplaceable," "Déjà Vu," and "Ring the Alarm." The deluxe edition, released months later, included "Beautiful Liar," which featured Shakira, and paved the way for "Get Me Bodied" making the charts.
