The envy of many a R&B hopeful Trey Songz is back with a scorching new visual!

What it was shot to support? His new number ‘Animal‘ which is housed by his March 24th release ‘Tremaine The Playboy.’

Jussie Smollett is perhaps most notable for his breakout role as Jamal Lyon on FOX‘s soapy drama ‘Empire.’

However, the talented singer finds himself on socially conscious terrain with new release ‘F.U.W.’

An acronym for ‘F**ked Up World,’ the song and its accompanying video sees Smollett reflect on the tense political climate the world is engulfed in.

And while Donald Trump isn’t mentioned explicitly, there are numerous overtones directed his way.

For, Smollett sings:

“Build a wall, it won’t keep us from loving each other. Rewrite the laws… you won’t keep us from loving each other.”

While elsewhere, he belts:

“Why we back in the past? It’s the same script, different cast. All these alternative facts. Catch me outside, how ’bout that?”

The acting singer says the release, which he directed, isn’t a single, but more so a statement.

Lifting him to a debut on the Billboard 200, the worldwide response to Sheeran’s latest has also landed him in the Guinness Book of World Records.  The organization reported ‘Divide’ has:

  • …sold more copies in its first week than the rest of the UK’s Top 500 albums combined.
  • …a grand total of 16 tracks in the UK Top 20 – a feat which has also earned Ed the record for Most simultaneous UK Top 20 singles.
  • …crashed into Spotify’s Global Top 50 streaming chart on 3 March, as well as the Top 50 in 12 international markets (Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland and the UK).

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

So, just 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.

This week we’ll rewind to ‘With You’ – the third single from Chris Brown‘s sophomore album, ‘Exclusive.’  Produced by Stargate and written by Brown, Johnta Austin, and more, the folk-pop number was almost an instant hit for the young singer, flying to #2 just weeks after its unveiling.  Initially blocked from the top spot by Flo Rida‘s hit ‘Low,’ ‘With You’ fell down charts only to have a resurgence after some promotional efforts by Brown.  Still, despite some impressive live showings of the tune, it only made it back to #2 this week (held at bay this time by Usher‘s ‘Love in the Club’).

That elusive Hot 100 perch didn’t hurt in the long run, however, as the song went on to garner 2x platinum status and be one of the year’s biggest releases.  Tuck in below to relive it and see who joined the R&B bad boy in the top 25 this week 9 years ago:
