Beyoncé is the fifth studio album by American singer Beyoncé, surprise-released as a visual album on December 13, 2013, via Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. Recorded in secrecy, the electro-R&B record features a textured, ambient soundscape and dark, personal lyrics that explore sexuality and monogamy from a feminist perspective. It broke the record for the fastest-selling album on the iTunes Store, debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, and was later certified six-times platinum, with the hit single Drunk in Love reaching number two on the Hot 100. The album received widespread critical acclaim, often hailed as her magnum opus, and won three Grammy Awards in 2015, including Best R&B Song for Drunk in Love. Credited with popularizing the contemporary visual album, its surprise release even prompted the music industry to change Global Release Day from Tuesday to Friday. Developed after the birth of her daughter Blue Ivy, Beyoncé invited producers to her mansion to experiment with new sounds, ultimately crafting a work that is considered one of the greatest albums of all time.
