[edit] Album information

The soundtrack was released in two different versions-- a two-disc edition entitled "Evita - The Motion Picture Music Soundtrack" featured all the tracks from the film, and "Evita - Music From The Motion Picture"', a single-disc edition contained a selection of highlights from the soundtrack. The single-disc version uses the same artwork that was used to promote the film.

The album was an international Top 10 success, reaching No. 2 in the US and No. 1 in the UK, and contains three hit singles; "You Must Love Me" (No. 18 in the US and No. 10 in the UK), sung by Madonna, "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" (No. 8 in the US, No. 3 in the UK, and No. 1 in France), also sung by Madonna, and "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" (No. 7 in the UK), in which Madonna sings lead vocals.

"You Must Love Me," specially composed for the film 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.

Madonna later performed an instrumental interlude of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" on her 2001 Drowned World Tour, and in 2004, she performed "Lament" during her Re-Invention Tour on a controversial electrical chair.
