Readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.

So, as our retrospective features ‘From the Vault’ and ‘TGJ Replay’  allow us the chance to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday of one artist, our newest feature Chart Rewind – a variation of our current Retro Rewind assay – accedes salutes to an entire era of music history.

Next, we’ll take a step back to 2005 to revisit one of Ciara‘s biggest hits – ‘1,2 Step.’  The Missy Elliott and Jazze Pha-produced cut – released as the follow-up to her debut chart-topping single, ‘Goodies’ – shot to #2 at the end of 2004 and remained there this week 12 years ago.  An 80’s inspired tune, inspired by Afrika Bambaataa‘s ‘Planet Rock,’ ‘Step’ was Ci’s second consecutive top 5 single and was only held at bay by Mario‘s massive hit ‘Let Me Love You.’

Hop on down under the jump to step down memory lane with Ciara:

Teyana Taylor‘s performance in Kanye West’s ‘Fade’ was undoubtedly one of the highlights of 2016 and one of Pop culture’s brightest moments.

Impressed by her moves in the visual? ‘Vogue.’

Enthralled, the fashion publication called on her to rebuild and recreate the clip for its reader to support Taylor as she seeks to inspire today’s cosmetic surgery obsessed generation to seek healthier and longer-lasting alternatives to achieving their dream bodies.

I think dancing, as far as fitness, is very underrated. Whether that’s Zumba, tap dancing, or ballet, you have to realize that this is an actual workout. Sometime this year, I want to make a DVD. For real. Most people are selfish—they’re trying to keep all their secrets to themselves. But I really want to do it to help out all of the ladies. My diet sucks. I eat pizza, fried chicken, macaroni; I don’t eat vegetables. But I dance!

Chrisette Michele set social media on fire yesterday when it was revealed that she will be taking to the stage to perform at Donald Trump‘s inauguration.

The US president elect remains a divisive figure thanks to his controversial views on a number of topics – especially his take on minorities and immigrants.

It’s left many wondering who’ll serve as the entertainment at tomorrow’s inauguration ceremony.

With Michele officially in the mix, she seems to have bowed to pressure to explain her decision.

Writing on her official site, she has issued an open letter on the matter.

Take a look at any “one’s to watch” list from last year, and it’s almost certain that Chance The Rapper would have featured.

Waving the flag for the independent movement, the mass appealing Hip-Hop talent has caught the eyes and ears of the recording buying public who helped lift his ‘Coloring Book’ project to #1 via on streams alone.

If anything is a guarantee in the music business it’s change.

Just ask Lady Gaga.

Despite being less than a decade into superstardom, the 30-year-old has experienced several career twists and turns.

Two of the more notable center on management and creative.

Indeed, as pertains to the latter, many were surprised when Mother Monster parted ways with longtime creative director and choreographer Laurieann Gibson (pictured above). The timing, just after ‘Born This Way,’ was sudden and left fans worried given how integral at-the-time Gibson was to all things “Gaga.”

Renown for her colorful personality and “Boom Kack” catchphrase, Gibson was replaced by Richy Jackson – a dancer/choreographer who served as her #2.

Some have speculated that this has been a perpetual thorn in her side ever since.

And while only she knows the validity of that, her movements on Twitter have added fuel to the flames.
