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.

  1. 28 years on, the title cut to Ray of Light shines brightly-to quote a song by fellow Michigander Bob Seger. Madonna rocks hard and out on Ray of Light-complete with her trusty diamond-black Gibson Les Paul electric guitar. It is here that Madonna reclaimed her Heartland Rock mojo and roots and it is on Ray of Light that Madonna is Queen of Heartland Rock-Always, Now and Forever! What a brilliant time to be alive!
