After a series of commercially successful releases with the group, Knowles

became one of the biggest commercial successes of the year, topping the albums         
charts in the United States and the United Kingdom. It also spawned the number-one     
singles "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy" and earned Knowles five Grammy Awards in       
a single night in 2004. Knowles' second album B'Day was released worldwide on         
September 4, 2006, coinciding with her twenty-fifth birthday. The album spawned

films as the 2006 comedy The Pink Panther and the 2006 musical film Dreamgirls,       
which earned her two Golden Globe Award nominations—one for acting and other for
