• London, July 14 (IANS) Pop star Madonna is being sued by a record company that claims she used a sample of one of their hits in her 1990 song "Vogue".
  
  Record company VMG Salsoul has accused the 53-year-old of using horns and strings from Salsoul Orchestra's 1977 hit "Chicago Bus Stop (Ooh, I Love It)" and never paying for it.
  
  According to tmz.com, the company claims it has had to wait so long to take the issue to court because the sample is not obvious and was only isolated thanks to new technology.
  
  VMG Salsoul is suing for copyright infringement and is demanding unspecified damages.
  
  "The unauthorised sampling was deliberately hidden by (Madonna) within 'Vogue' so as to avoid detection. It was only when VMG specifically looked for the sample, with the technology available to it in 2011, that the sampling could be confirmed," the company said.
  
  The singer is currently on a world tour promoting her 'MDNA' album.
