CHART REFLECTION. Burlesque diva Christina Aguilera has another problem on her hands. Not only has her chart career somewhat stalled, now Aguilera and her label Sony Music are being sued for not clearing a sample used in “Ain’t No Other Man” from 2006. The track used a sample of “Hippy Skippy Moon Strut” as performed by Dave Cortez & The Moon People. Aguilera peaked at No.8 on the Hot 100 and even won a Grammy for that song. The publishing company TufAmerica makes the claim as it has the exclusive rights to this 1968 hit. “Ain’t No Other Man” peaked at No.15 in Sweden and No.2 in the UK.
