It was a big New York night for MADONNA as she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the famed Waldorf-Astoria.

Pop heavyweight JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE did the honors of inducting his fellow chart-topper into the prestigious circle of musicians.

All of the honorees, who became eligible 25 years after their first recordings were released, were voted in by the 600 voters in the Hall of Fame Foundation.
