" 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.
BnPac Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 An incredible record. The réal birth of her as an artist.

" 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
