On June 29 1998, Madonna’s Ray of Light single peaked at #3 on RPM’s Top 100 Canadian Singles chart.

As with all the Canadian singles from the Ray of Light album, the title track was issued by Warner Music Canada as a 2-track CD single and as a CD maxi-single. In the U.S., the album’s CD singles were issued in cardboard sleeves with “draw pack” trays and the CD maxi-singles in “FLP digipak” cases, while in Canada the two configurations for each of the album’s four domestic singles were packaged in standard CD jewel cases with printed inserts.

On June 28 2005, Madonna told Britain’s Grazia magazine:

“I am perfectly happy to muck around in a pair of drawstring pants and wellies. Sometimes my daughter gets angry because I go to school with her wearing my tracksuit and she say ‘Can’t you just wear normal clothes?’ I think she wants me to be a Yummy Mummy, but that’s not me.”

On June 26, 2026, LOS40 reported that a new FIFA Version of Madonna’s “Read My Lips” with Colombian artist Feid had been released as part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup music rollout.

Produced by Tainy, the new version was described as a shorter edit of the Confessions II track, blending Madonna’s dance-pop world with Feid’s urban sound, funk carioca influences and Spanish-language moments.

The collaboration had already been hinted at in Confessions II – The Film, but the FIFA version gave fans another unexpected piece of the album’s expanding universe one week before Confessions II was scheduled for release.

According to LOS40, the track appeared on the Bonus Edition of the official FIFA World Cup 2026 album, alongside new music connected to other major global artists.

For fans, “Read My Lips” becoming part of the World Cup conversation was another reminder that the Confessions II era was not unfolding in one lane. It was moving through clubs, fashion, Pride, television, film — and now the world’s biggest sporting stage.

On June 23 2015, Liz Rosenberg announced her retirement as Madonna’s publicist.

During Madonna’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Madonna thanked Liz in her acceptance speech:

“She’s been — and still is — the head of publicity for my entire career.  Now, does anybody understand the insanity of being my publicist for the last 25 years? Well, I think Liz was smoking a joint when I first met her. I walked into her office and she very politely stubbed it out in the ashtray. I don’t think she thought I knew she was smoking a joint but it was a little bit obvious. Anyway, we hit it off right away. She was my kinda girl — tough, irreverent and funny. And we’ve had a long and amazing chunk of time together.”
