More, more, more!

With a 45-track album on the horizon, it’s little wonder why Chris Brown is being all sorts of generous with his try-before-you-buy motive.

Indeed, ahead of the November 3rd arrival of ‘Heartbreak On A Full Moon,’ C. Breezy delivers a trio of tracks in the form of ‘Pull Up,’ ‘Hope You Do,’ and ‘Everybody Knows.’ The move comes a week after the 28-year-old premiered the same number of songs.

Sam Smith is marching on with momentum to the release of sophomore album ‘The Thrill Of It All.’

Set to land at retail and streaming services on November 3rd, the project is hotly tipped to be one of the year’s biggest offerings. A stance the success of lead single ‘Too Good At Goodbyes’ certainly lends credence to.

Now, the 25-year-old is serving up a taste of what else to expect with the arrival of ‘Burning.’

A haunting piano ballad, Smith has gone on record to bill the Poo Bear production his “favorite” from the LP.

Fergie is a fighter.

The fierce songstress is currently in the midst of a split from husband Josh Duhamel, but isn’t letting that bring her album promo to a halt.

Quite the contrary.

Indeed, the Black Eyed Peas singer is hitting up many a platform to plug new LP ‘Double Dutchess’ – which dropped last month.

The latest stop was The Wendy Williams Show today.

Chopping it up with the former shock jock, Fergie Ferg opened up about a host of topics including her break-up, co-parenting, her career to date, and much more.

Check out the fun-filled interview…

Welcome back to TGJ Replay!

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest reflective segment to act as a written quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday. Unlike its TGJ retrospective predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.

In honor of its 15th birthday (October 26), this week we’ll press play on Christina Aguilera‘s magnum opus:  ‘Stripped’…

Grammy-winning R&B diva Chrisette Michele may have started her year off on a sour note after battling widespread backlash due to her support of President Donald Trump, but she’s determined for her year to end differently.

Her first step toward making that happen?  New music, of course!  After the masses have had time to “cool off,” Michele makes moves toward her new album, ‘Out of Control’ (in stores April 13, 2018).  The first release from the 12-song set – ‘Strong Black Woman’ – has roared to digital and streaming outlets.

Highlighted with lyrics from Michele as well as production credits from Dee Hill and longtime collaborators Four Kings Productions, get into it below and weigh in:

While recent headlines have seen the self-proclaimed Queen of Rap reign over headlines more for personal dramas than professional endeavors (see:  testifying at brother’s rape trial, backlash for asserting her position in “reintroducing female hip hop to the mainstream”), Nicki Minaj is still using her platform to highlight problems in the Hip Hop community that mesh the two realms of personal and professional.

Just two weeks after highlighting the absence of dominating female presences in the Hip Hop world, Minaj highlights her own personal struggles the top.  The biggest hurdle she’s had to overcome?  Sexism.  And, let the Grammy nominee tell it, it’s a battle she’s still having to fight…

Even with 11 studio albums, dozens of mixtapes, EPs, and more, rapper Gucci Mane‘s Hot 100 history – outside of guest appearances on rap duo Rae Sremmurd‘s #1 hit ‘Black Beatles’ and Selena Gomez’s ‘Fetish’ – has not sung of much top 30 success.

In fact, as of September 2017, Big Guwop had never been able to boast ownership of a top 30 single as a leading artist.  However, that all changed thanks to his Migos-assisted single, ‘I Get the Bag,’ which – as of time reported – is on its way to helping him bag his first ever top 10!

‘Havana’ is proving itself to be the hit former Fifth Harmony beauty Camila Cabello‘s been praying for.

After a slow start to her solo career with the ill-received promotional single, ‘Crying in the Club,’ Cabello is crying tears of joy after a slew of live performances helped hoist ‘Havana’ – the first official cut from her debut solo album, ‘The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving.’ – to the top 20 (which it cracked this week).

Now, thanks to the long-awaited unveiling of its accompanying music video, the song has shot into the top 5 on iTunes charts.  Details inside:

Fergie may not have set the charts ablaze with new visual album ‘Double Dutchess,’ but that hasn’t extinguished her touring plans.

It’s an awesome time to be pop-rocker P!nk.

The powerhouse songstress – who saw the Billboard 200 welcome her to her second consecutive chart-topper, ‘Beautiful Trauma’ – is also delivering disappointing news on the Hot 100 side of the charts to those who’d branded the set’s first single, ‘What About Us,’ a flop.

A politically charged number, the tune was threatening to deliver the second time in the singer’s nearly 20 year career that her album’s lead single did not crack the top 20 (the first being 2003’s ‘Try This’). However, thanks to some added promo the week of its parent album’s release,  ‘What’ has been lifted to a  new Hot 100 peak with promise to go even higher next week.

Look below to see where it and all of your faves o’ the day landed on this week’s refreshed Hot 100 chart check.
