On February 24 1999, Madonna performed Nothing Really Matters at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards. Madonna also took home 4 Grammies:
- Best Pop Album – David Reitzas, Jon Ingoldsby, Pat McCarthy (engineers/mixers), William Orbit (producer) and Madonna (producer & artist) for Ray Of Light
- Best Dance Recording – Pat McCarthy (mixer), William Orbit (producer) and Madonna (producer & artist) for Ray of Light
- Best Short Form Music Video – Jonas Åkerlund (video director) and Madonna for Ray of Light
- Best Recording Package – Kevin Reagan (art director) for Ray of Light performed by Madonna
22 years later Ray of Light will always be a Detroit Rock City Madonna masterpiece! Part of my Top 10 Rock albums of all time! Pure Michigan rock & roll brilliance imported from Detroit!
NRM is so underrated, and if Warner had released it sooner it may have went top 10. The song was released in January 1999, but the single wasn’t released in North America until April. Not sure why, but Warner began fucking up Madonnas singles in the late 90s. They didn’t release Beautiful Stranger as a single and it may have been a number 1.
