Madonna announces the release of Veronica Electronica, a long-awaited project featuring rare and unreleased remixes from the critically acclaimed album Ray of Light. Veronica Electronica, an 8-track collection accompanying Ray of Light, was originally envisioned by Madonna as a remix album in 1998. The project was ultimately shelved due to the phenomenal success of the original album and its many singles, which would go on to dominate the charts for more than a year. Ray of Light would sell more than 16 million copies worldwide and would earn Madonna four Grammy Awards, including Best Pop Album.
