  "account": "On September 3, 2026, Beyonce Knowles-Carter unveiled a deluxe 20th anniversary edition of her 2006 sophomore album, B Day. The expanded digital reissue, released just one day before her 45th birthday, includes 31 tracks, featuring previously unreleased songs like Creole, Lost Yo Mind, My First Time, Back Up, and a collaboration with Pharrell Williams titled Can I Watch You. Physical collectibles, including a deluxe vinyl with a 60-page booklet and a standalone anniversary CD, are also available. A standout new track, Irreemplazable (Como La Flor), pays homage to the late Tejano icon Selena, featuring her vocals and samples from her 1992 hit Como La Flor, approved by her estate. Selena's widower, Chris Perez, defended the collaboration on Instagram, criticizing fans for being overly critical. The anniversary project also includes a Spanish-language version of Get Me Bodied, featuring Colombian singer Maluma. The album, released on September 3, 2026, completes a 60-day rollout that started on July 4 with the release of Morning Dew (Donk) and an August 4 remix pack featuring Jay-Z. The original B Day album was released on September 4, 2006, by Columbia Records, Music World Entertainment, and Sony Urban Music, earning six commercial singles and a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album in 2007. The anniversary release coincides with Jay-Z's 30th anniversary of Reasonable Doubt and the 25th anniversary of The Blueprint, with Jay-Z set to perform at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the same day, sparking rumors of a potential joint stage appearance.",
