September 4 marked Beyoncé’s birthday and the release of a voluminous remastered B’DAY, her coming-of-age second album. When it was released on September 4, 2006, music fans around the world were introduced to a 25-year-old woman with a bold, new voice. Not just a powerful singing voice, but an artist determined to take over her career as a singer, songwriter, producer, and visual artist. She recorded the album in a two-week session, fully cemented at the helm, and knowing exactly what she wanted to create. She was pushing herself, revealing layers to her innovative approach to recording, writing, and producing. That fierce and urgent approach was extended to all her collaborators, with each one digging a little deeper to define the sound of her deeply personal album.

The campaign has already spent 11 consecutive weeks in the OCC Top 20, amassed 120 million+ streams, and generated over 3 million TikTok creations to prove its timeless essence. The incoming release was played by David Guetta live at LIV Beach in Las Vegas last weekend which was widely received across socials. Having originally been released in 2002, the record found new life when DJ and producer Mall Grab, one of the most credible voices bridging underground dance and mainstream club culture uploaded an edit to SoundCloud and worked it into his sets throughout last year. The groundswell it created led to an official release which immediately flew into the charts and secured A-list adds at Radio 1, Capital and Kiss FM.
