On October 7 2000, Madonna’s MUSIC album debuted at #1 in the USA with sales of 420,000 copies.
Dimitri Ehrlich from Vibe described the album as “a masterpiece of brilliantly arranged keyboards, futuristic drums, and electronica dressings. With folky acoustic guitars and a vaguely spiritual bend to her lyrics (like those on Ray of Light), it’s a weird and fresh-sounding album.”
Today In Madonna History 
By all accounts, Madonna could have been Japanese in another life! In these last two weeks in October, Madonna has been haunted, saddened and beset by family tragedies and my heart goes out to her! I just can’t fathom or imagine the absolute sadness that Madonna is going through and experiencing right now having lost stepmom Joan and brother Chris! In a real sense, Paradise-a ballad about her mother-is one of the definitive songs of her Detroit Rebel Life! Madonna Forever in Her Detroit Rock City Brilliance!
