She’s done it!
After watching her Nicki Minaj-assisted hit ‘Hot Girl Summer’ peak one rung shy of top 10 glory in 2019, rapstress Megan Thee Stallion has finally secured that ever elusive top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with her anthemic bop, ‘Savage.’
Details inside:
A whopping 50 acts – including the likes of Alessia Cara, Kesha, Jason Derulo, Charlie Puth, JoJ0, and more – assembled for Elvis Duran‘s ‘Stay at Home Ball’ last weekend (with a repeat showing on May 2).
Hosted by Duran in conjunction with iHeartRadio, the livestreamed benefit concert was designed to aid the Project C.U.R.E. Foundation – an organization dedicated to raising funds for hospitals, healthcare workers, emergency medical supply providers, and first responders.

Directed by Derek Blanks and with creative direction from Frank Gatson, the vivid visual sees B-Rocka dance up a storm.
‘Mama,’ holistically, pays homage to the mothers making a way against the odds. It aptly arrives just before Mother’s Day in the US.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2012, Stellar & Dove Award-winning crooner Jonathan McReynolds has positioned himself as the unequivocal leader of contemporary Gospel’s new school.
Delivering hits like ‘No Gray,’ ‘Not Lucky, I’m Loved,’ ‘Make Room,’ and more, the guitar-wielding singer – at just 30 years old – has accomplished more in the last 8 years than many of his peers boast over their entire careers. And, as he exclusively told That Grape Juice, he’s just getting started.

Coronavirus has halted plans of many an act. And it appears Christina Aguilera was one of them.
The vocal supernova has been all sorts of active in the time since she left ‘The Voice’ and reaffixed the focus on her music career.
Indeed, she’s juggled her Las Vegas residency ‘The Xperience’ with extensive touring of the world.
Now, it’s emerged that there were more plans for the latter in place – interestingly with a unique partner.

Though listed among Britney Spears‘ most critically acclaimed projects, her 9th LP – 2016’s ‘Glory’ – is her worst selling and only studio album to date to lack a certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
However, renewed interest in the ‘Make Me’-led set may be making a change to its criminally underrated story.

Two decades ago, the world had no idea just how much fire the ladies of Destiny’s Child had under their flashy sleeves with their soon-to-be-released third studio album.
As we celebrate this week its 19th anniversary, its title track ‘Survivor’ is today’s From The Vault pick.
As a way of reclaiming the narrative that had been making the rounds in the media after a total of three members had left or been fired from the group, its lead vocalist Beyonce decided to write a song that would let the naysayers know that neither nasty words nor petty insults could ever prevent them from chasing their destiny.
The Anthony Dent-produced track marked the start of the divas sharing the vocal load in a fairer way compared to what could be heard on their first two projects. Michelle Williams in particular shines during her intense bridge.
‘Survivor’ was a monumental chart success for the band, peaking at #2 for 7 consecutive weeks in the US and in the Top 10 of many European countries – including a #1 in the UK.
Darren Grant directed the song’s video. Presenting Kelly, Michelle and Bey as three survivors living on an uninhabited island, it was a not-so-subtle reference to the comparisons the press had been making between the group and the reality series of the same name – where contestants in isolated locations are pitted against each other and are voted off every week.
This visual houses some of the most iconic DC3 looks, from the cut-out castaway dresses, their fur two pieces and of course their military dance sequence outfits. Oh how we adore the early 2000’s!
And that, dear friends, is how you turn the tables around and successfully bring it back to the music. After this release, the girls were finally able to move on from the unfortunate ending of DC4 and focus on turning the definitive incarnation of Destiny’s Child into a blueprint for every aspiring band out there.
Today, thanks to their blazing solo endeavours, the children of destiny are as seasoned as ever – as seen with their “Beychella” segment.
It would be a lie if we said we haven’t been dreaming about some sort of more robust reunion; whether for a tour, an EP or all of the above. Stranger things have happened right?
Anyhow, in the meantime we’ll be blasting ‘Survivor’ and its parent album with our fist up in the air.
