  2. "How can you be working with all these pop artists but still only make $5 mill more than swizz beats?!?"

    Since when does Madonna alone qualify as "all these pop artists"? None of the other ones ever made such an impact, unless you count that single he did with 50 Cent.

  3. Timbo in 2006 with Justin, and Nelly Furtado, and Omarion, is a completely different story. Swizz basically got on THIS list off of Beyonce hits which still gets played today, and that was an 06 album. Which got re-released in 2007.

    Mind you, this list is 2007. Madonna album released this year[2008].
