Songs That Sample Madonna

While you can certainly debate the quality of her voice and the depth of her music, you really cannot debate Madonna's influence in popular culture or her success as a pop star. Madonna stayed relevant even while new pop starlets like Britney Spears emerged, which is quite an accomplishment considering that the job of pop diva is a young woman's game. Madonna is now 52. If I had to choose, I would say that Lady Gaga has successfully stolen the crown of Madonna and is the new queen of pop. But even if it's impossible for Madonna to stay at the top, she will always have an important place in music history. For this playlist I've put together 10 songs that sample her music. And these only scratch the surface. So please add any other songs you're aware of that I've missed.
