After the amazing gross of her first solo album Beyonce toured around the world then took a break to record the Destiny's child final album, Destiny's Child fulfilled. Anyway, this solo life was just the beginning for Beyonce' as she released her second studio album, B'Day, was released on September 5, 2006 which to no surprise was released the day after her bday. Oh B. your so creative. It sold 541,000 copies in its first week and debuted atop the Billboard 200, becoming Beyoncé's second consecutive number-one album in the United States.

In April 2007, Beyoncé embarked on The Beyoncé Experience, her first worldwide concert tour, visiting 97 venues and grossed over $24 million.At the same time, B'Day was re-released with five additional songs, including her duet with Shakira "Beautiful Liar". Truly B. was on top of her game.
In 2008, everyone was thrilled to find out Queen B. would marry her King, Jay Z. You would think they would take a break but No they Didn't, they worked as hard as ever promoting her 3rd studio album I am... Sasha Fierce in 2008. She scored big hits off songs like "Single Ladies( Put a Ring on it)", which you would think she wrote about Jay. As well as the soulful "If i were a Boy", which i had to say is my revolution song. Here are both songs if you never heard them.
The following January, Beyoncé sang James' trademark song, "At Last," for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at his inaugural ball. In March 2009, Beyoncé embarked on the I Am... World Tour, her second headlining worldwide concert tour, consisting of 108 shows, grossing $119.5 million.
She is on the big screen, wing Grammys, going on tour, recording new songs, being a wife, and she still got time to be a spokesperson for several companies and own House of Dereon, clothing, with her mother. She is truly amazing.
In 2010, Beyoncé was featured on Lady Gaga's single "Telephone" and its music video. The song topped the US Pop Songs chart, becoming the sixth number-one for both Beyoncé and Gaga, tying them with Mariah Carey for most number-ones since the Nielsen Top 40 airplay chart launched in 1992. "Telephone" received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.
Queen B took a hiatus from music in 2010 heeding her mother's advice, "to live life, to be inspired by things again". Queen B was missed from the world, but she wasn't DEAD. She was still FLAWLESS***. During this well deserved break, she traveled the world seeing sites like the wall of China, and the Pyramids in Egypt. Her break lasted only 9 months which i beleive she and Jay used to connect.
Beyoncé found herself under fire for after performing a private concert for Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi on New Year's Eve in 2010. She later donated her fee from the event to help victims of the Haitian earthquake. According to some reports, Beyoncé said that her father had been responsible for arranging the Libyan concert.
