They were considered massive underperformances.

I remember all the articles at that time, calling her flop, that Matthew said bday was bad with no hits and that it should be postponed. Deja Vu kind of left the charts quickly and then RTA flopped. She was in trouble. And then Irreplaceable came out of nowhere :D

 

Here is one example: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:gue-9tX5g3cJ:https://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/Beyonce-BDay-Delayed-23489+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=hr&client=safari 

 

"Beyonce has been promoting her upcoming album all over London recently, but now her B-Day may be delayed. After the album received horrible reviews and fans created a petition criticizing her latest video, Matthew Knowles is desperate to fix the album.Now it appears that Mathew Knowles is desperate to stop Beyonce's star from falling any further. "

Yeah there was a lot of negativity around Bday. I remember Jamilia that girl who sang Superstar saying as a fan she was disappointed with the album.

Chile! This isn't what happened. This all speculations and gossip from blogs, back then.  As a person, who witness and experienced that era firsthand. The anticipation for Bday was massive, she had just score a #1 single with "Check up on it", earlier in 2006, with a #1 box office hit movie(Pink Panther). However, this was also the era, when blogs became extremely popular, and some bloggers were posting anything without receipts. Also when the Beyoncé hate train started up again(with the dream girls era). Once Beyoncé revealed she did her album in 2weeks, the gossip mill and  negativity went into overdrive. With rumors of Matthew and Columbia records being unhappy with the album. All unfounded rumors. Of course Bday gets released, and slayed the competition with it's first week sales. Deja vu was a moderate hit(it did what it was suppose to do), peaking at #4 in the Billboard hot 100. Ring the alarm might not have been a hit, but it showed her eccentric and versatile musicality. By the time, irreplaceable was released, in late 2006, Bday was already approaching the 2m mark in album sales (domestically). Irreplaceable, simply gave the album much⁷⁷needed boast. Also Bday did score favorable reviews
