23 Songs To Celebrate The Birthday Of Beyoncé Giselle Knowles

Who doesn't love some Beyoncé? It's officially the Queens B'day and while the world celebrates, let's remember the Beyoncé songs that came before us.

While Dangerously In Love, B'day, released on her birthday, I Am... Sasha Fierce, 4 and Beyoncé are albums that changed the course of music, two of her solo albums silently dropped in the dead of night, her sixth visual album Lemonade changed the game.

After losing out to Adele's 25 for Album of the Year at the 2017 Grammy's,  Adele went on to deliver a powerful ode to Beyoncé on the Grammy stage and, à la Mean Girls, broke her Grammy in half to give a piece to a tearful Beyoncé Giselle Knowles.

Adele's devastated reaction to winning an award over Beyoncé is not a surprise. With an army of fans known as the Beyhive, Beyoncé's music has become an investment for scorned and powerless men and women across the world, her lyrics a wave of empowerment, drowning out the daily insecurities of the common man.

Although Lemonade is Beyoncé most profound and culturally significant work to date, as today is Queen B's day of birth we have to look back at her catalog and remember the forgotten songs that define an icon:
