DISCUSSION 💭 Where does B'Day rank in Beyoncé's discography for you?
https://youtu.be/yiCWmxJocj8?si=yKBueu6UIQVFr4yVBeen revisiting B'Day lately and I think it's criminally underrated compared to her other albums. Where do you have it ranked, and what's the one song from it you think more people need to hear that best represents the project?

It's my fav album by her. I'm not a Beyoncé fan but I love this album.

It’s my second favorite album after Renny. Her vocals were VOCALing on this album and the classic R&B sound is phenomenal, too.

Agreed, the creativity on them were wild. She made them songs just to make songs.

I love the artist that she's become since the release of this album, but I will always find it to be the quintessential Beyoncé album. Out of all of her albums, I feel like this unapologetically captures the energy, essence and spirit of "Beyoncé." I love how it's just a total melting pot of sounds and styles.
It's my second favorite album from her, with Renaissance being my favorite. As an overall project, though, B'Day is still my favorite.

It’s between this and I Am for my favourite of her albums. I used to know someone who swore her first album was her best, and I just can’t endorse that take! B Day is truly where it’s at!

For me Lemonade, Self-Titled and B’Day are the top 3 albums, but I also love DIL for the nostalgia and hit singles.

This is my favorite B album. Listening to this album gets me moving and makes me feel moisturized. It is LOUD AF, BIG AF, and all the things. She had a point to prove on this sophomore effort and DID!

This my 2nd favourite album of hers, ranking only behind 2011's '4'. Self-Titled debut comes in at a close third and then Sasha Fierce would probs follow next...

Idk how to rank now because my tastes in Bey discography always changes. It must be the 3th or 4th favorite by now

It’s her third best for me! Such a fun record and very cohesive for something that was done in two weeks!

Bottom two…right above Dangerously in Love🤣 Edit: Before y’all jump me…please remember we are talking about Beyoncé. A bottom tier album for her is someone else’s unreachable summit.

One of my top 2 Beyoncé albums!! This and self titled.
Think Get My Bodied best represents the album, fun, fierce and full of energy
