Madonna Samples Abba

Madonna‘s new single “Hung Up” will feature a sample of Abba‘s “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!“. The sample is a huge win for Madonna who becomes one of the rare artists to be endorsed by Abba to use one of their works as a sample, Undercover News reports today.

Only previously The Fugees were granted the honor by ABBA when they used a sample from “The Name Of The Game” in their 1996 track “Rumble in the Jungle”.

Benny and Bjorn from Abba have broken their strict “no sample” rule for this occasion. “Hung Up” will be the first single from the album “Confessions On A Dance Floor” due on November 14.
