Ray of Light, by Madonna, received universal acclaim, with reviews commending the singer's new musical direction. Called her "most adventurous" record, Ray of Light has been noted for its introspective, spiritual nature, with Madonna's vocals also being praised. Ray of Light won four Grammy Awards from a total of six nominations. The album debuted at No. 2 on the US Billboard 200, with the biggest first-week sales by a female artist at the time. It also peaked at No. 1 in many countries including Australia, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and has sold over 16 million copies worldwide. Five singles were released from the album, including the international hits Frozen and Ray of Light. The album's promotion was later supported by the Drowned World Tour in 2001. Music critics have noted the album's influence on popular music, and how it introduced electronica into mainstream pop culture in America. They also noted Madonna's musical re-invention which helped her remain contemporary among the teen-marketed artists of the period. Ray of Light is frequently cited by critics as one of the greatest pop albums of all time.
