The soundtrack to the 1996 Cinergi/Hollywood Motion Picture Evita was released in two different formats. A 2-disc double album entitled Evita - The Motion Picture Music Soundtrack featured all the tracks from the film. A second release Evita - Music From The Motion Picture contained a selection of highlights from the soundtrack on a 1-disc format with different cover artwork. This was the second soundtrack release by Madonna, it also featured the vocal talents of Antonio Banderas, Jonathan Pryce and Jimmy Nail.

The soundtrack was an international Top 10 success, reaching No. 2 in the US and No. 1 in the UK. The double album spun off three hit singles: the Academy Award-winning "You Must Love Me" (No. 18 in the US and No. 10 in the UK), "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" (No. 8 in the US, No. 3 in the UK, and No. 1 in France) and "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" (No. 7 in the UK). "You Must Love Me", the tune specially composed for the film of Evita, won both the Oscar and the Golden Globe for Best Original Song. Madonna, herself, took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress In A Comedy Or Musical, and the film won the award for Best Motion Picture – Comedy Or Musical.
