Ray of Light

This album is widely regarded as Madonna's magnum opus, and the older I get, the more I appreciate why. Collaborating with electronic producer William Orbit, it took her four months to record - the longest she's ever spent recording an album. Worth it, imho. Ray of Light debuted at no. 2 on the Billboard 200 with the highest first-week sales for a woman at the time. It topped the charts of 17 countries, won multiple Grammy awards and has now sold over 16 million copies globally. ~ paraphrase...
