The soundtrack 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 and a second release "Evita - Music From The Motion Picture"' contained a selection of highlights from the soundtrack. The 1-disc format contains the same artwork 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. It contains three hit singles by Madonna; 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.
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" in her Re-Invention World Tour.
