FUSE TV - 11 Hit Songs You Didn't Know Were Covers

While behind-the-scenes songwriters pen pop jams for superstars every day, it's another story when an artist takes a song previously released by another musician and makes it their own. Many icons on this list–like Whitney HoustonNirvanaChristina Aguilera and more–took relatively obscure originals and gave them a whole new life, creating globally beloved hit songs. Still, the song's originators deserve credit. So here are 11 chart-topping songs you didn't know were covers.
