Shan JayaweeraBeyoncé - Irreplaceable
November 15th 2006 02:06
B'Day is the second studio album by Beyoncé, it was released in early September.
The album debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 with first week sales of 541,196 copies, and at number one on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart. It sold over 200,000 copies more than her first album Dangerously In Love. Knowles has the highest first week sales of an album released in 2006 by a female artist, the fourth highest first week sales of 2006 after Rascal Flatts' Me And My Gang, which sold 722,000 copies in April, Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds (a week later) with first week sales over 684,000, and Tool's 10,000 Days, which sold 564,000 copies in May. The album has already been certified platinum (1 million copies shipped) by the RIAA.
Lyrically the song is from the viewpoint of a woman who is dismissing a cheating lover, assuring him that he is not irreplaceable, and that she can quickly "have another you in a minute." The song is notable for its unique sound with acoustic guitars prominent in the mix.
The music video for Irreplaceable is a simple story where Beyoncé's boyfriend is packing his belongings and leaving her house. Between cuts, we see her dancing, looking at herself in the mirror wearing only her lingerie and lipstick singing with her band and having fun.
