Madonna,
Ray of Light is the eighth studio album by American pop singer Madonna. It was released by Warner Bros. Records on March 2, 1998, across Europe. The album was primarily produced by Madonna and William Orbit, and also by Madonna and previous collaborator Patrick Leonard. Upon its debut, critical reception was generally positive, with critics complimenting the album's blend of pop and electronic music.[1] Ray of Light became one of Madonna's most commercially-successful releases, and reached number one in the United Kingdom, where it was certified six times platinum. In the United States, the album was released on March 3, 1998, and reached number two on the Billboard albums chart, where it was certified four times platinum. The album went on to sell an estimated 15 million units world-wide.
The album featured a change in Madonna's music as well as personal lyrics about motherhood, fame, and spirituality. In addition, Ray of Light presented a vocally stronger Madonna, as she had received vocal lessons for her lead role in the 1996 film Evita. In 1999, the album received three Grammy Awards including "Best Pop Album" and "Best Dance Recording".

Like a Virgin is the second studio album by singer Madonna. The album peaked at number one on Billboard Music Chart's pop albums chart and number ten on the R&B charts. A remastered version of the album was released in 2001.
Two of Madonna's most enduring and famous songs, "Like a Virgin" and "Material Girl", are found on this album. Upon release in 1984, the song "Like a Virgin" became somewhat controversial for its theme and for Madonna's performances of it. Madonna debuted the song "Like a Virgin" on the first annual MTV Video Music Awards. In this performance, Madonna rolled on the floor in a white wedding dress, exposing her panties and garter belt, all the while wearing a belt that read "Boy Toy". (This "Boy Toy" belt is partly visible on the "Like a Virgin" album cover.)
Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine did a parody of this album called "I'd Like a Virgin." The cover shows Richard Cheese trying to have sex with Madonna. The Horribly Awfuls recorded a cover of this song on their 2003 release, "We Fight Like the Crips and Bloods."
