the UK. The hit number-one singles "Crazy in Love" and
"Baby Boy" from the album earned Beyonce five Grammy Awards
in a single night in 2004. It also established her as one of pop
/ R&B's premier producers and singer-songwriters. Beyonce’s
albums have sold more than 140 million copies, and she has 10 Grammy

Her
latest critically acclaimed album, “B'Day” released in
September last year debuted at #1 on four of Billboard's music charts
in the United States and also hit #1 in the Asia-Pacific region,
including Australia, Japan and Singapore. The album spawned the
UK number-one singles "Déjà Vu" and "Beautiful
Liar", as well as the worldwide number-one hit "Irreplaceable".
