The visual, which serves as the latest to be lifted from the diva’s tenth studio album ‘A.K.A’, features industry “it” chick Iggy Azalea – who, on this remixed version, replaces Pitbull (who appeared on the LP incarnation).

After a lengthy break on the bench, ‘TGJ Replay’ is back!

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest retrospective segment – a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.  As this week marks the 25th anniversary of the release of ‘Rhythm Nation’ – the now legendary fourth album from pop superstar Janet Jackson, we are set to deliver our biggest ‘Replay’ yet in homage to the Queen.

It all awaits below:

The ladies are still running this mutha-!

For the second week in a row, every song in the top 5 of the Hot 100 is all female!  With acts like Meghan Trainor, Nicki Minaj, and Taylor Swift leading the pack, there has been little switch-up from last week to this.  But, with a web of radio and digital spins aiding its ascension, Iggy Azalea‘s ‘Widow’ climbs into the thick of the action.

Does it pose much of a threat to the tally’s top placeholders?  See Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 below:

The parallels between the narratives of Gwen Stefani and Fergie are uncanny.

Both ladies stem from groups. Both ladies broke out solo with sounds that fused Pop and Urban. And both ladies were incredibly successful during the mid 00’s.

It’s fitting, although we doubt coincidence, then that the lady’s label Interscope are gearing up to launch their respective comeback campaigns within a month of each other.

Excited? If so, you won’t have to wait long to hear what the Pop forces have been cooking up.
