London’s OVO Arena Wembley played host to a colossal collective of R&B royals at the hotly anticipated RNB Xmas Ball 2023.
The sold-out extravaganza, which was powered by The TCO Group, was top-lined by icons SWV, Monica, and Joe.
And the trio did not disappoint.
Join us below for a recap on a memorable night of R&B magnificence.
The Royal Variety Performance made its way back to screens on Sunday (December 17), and there was no one better to help usher its return than music monarch Cher.
Having already dazzled viewers of the 2023 Macy’s Day Thanksgiving Parade, ‘Graham Norton,’ ‘Christmas at Rockefeller Center TV special,‘ and more with live renditions of her latest chart-topper ‘DJ Play a Christmas Song,’ the Bradley Walsh-hosted affair was the latest to get the treatment.
Donning a leather corset with studded skintight pants, black boots, fingerless gloves, and a studded choker, the 77-year-old rocked the house in front of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden, and other royals with the lead single from her history-making holiday album ‘Christmas.’
Did you miss the action when it first aired? No worries; we’ve got you covered.
With over 65 Hot 100 hits and 100 million records sold to her credit, Dionne Warwick towers as one of music history’s most successful female acts.
For those stats and many others, the 83-year-old icon was among the 2023 class of Kennedy Center Honorees – a list that also included groundbreaking acts Queen Latifah, Bee Gees star Barry Gibb, EMMY-winning screen legend Billy Crystal, and others.
Hosted by GRAMMY-winning legend (and previous honoree) Gloria Estefan, the event continued its tradition of honoring individuals who have “redefined their artforms” while demonstrating “remarkable authenticity.”
A toast to that very notion came courtesy of GRAMMY-nominated R&B star Chloe Bailey, who was on hand to tribute Warwick with a stirring live rendition of the 1963 classic ‘Walk on By.’
Ahead of the ‘KC Honors’ airing on CBS on December 27, get a sneak peek at how Bailey fared with the timeless tune.
With Christmas a mere week away, Mariah Carey has unwrapped another stint atop the Billboard Hot 100!
For, the songbird supreme has flown to the #1 spot on the coveted count with ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You.’

For better, or for worse, and everything in between, 2023 was a year for the record books.
As the year nears its completion, That Grape Juice is looking back on the moments that shaped the year in the Urban and Pop landscape.
Look below to see how Tory Lanez shaped the year.
Having already conquered charts with the 3x Platinum 2020 hit ‘Godzilla,’ top-selling rappers Eminem and Juice Wrld reunite to repeat the feat with the new tune ‘Lace It.’
The late emcee’s first release of 2023, ‘Lace’ – produced by Juice’s longtime friend and collaborator Benny Blanco – serves as the first single from his final posthumous album ‘The Party Never Ends.’
“Roll it up, lace it, pop a few to chase it / I’m in my own Matrix, none of this shit makes sense / All these humans basic, don’t got no home trainin’ / Codeine by the cases, I’ve been purple rainin’,” Wrld raps in the new song.

Having already lifted her breakthrough hit, ‘B*tch from da Souf,’ to 2x Platinum status thanks to help from the ‘Queen of Miami’ Trina, GRAMMY-nominated rapstress Latto is returning to Florida to return the favor – this time linking with up-and-coming Tallahassee native Luh Tyler.
The rising rapper, best known for the songs ‘Law and Order’ and ‘Fat Racks,’ was already racking up handsome streams courtesy of their duet ‘Grinch Freestyle,‘ but now the two are looking to take those numbers even higher with the holiday-adjacent tune’s official music video.
“Stand on business, pull up and get busy, pick a place (Buh) / H**s ain’t tryna fight, they swingin’ belts and pullin’ lace (Buh, buh) / Let that h* think I forgot, when I catch her, I’ma blank / Got these diamonds out the sink, s*** water, hit like tank (Water),” the ‘Big Energy’ beauty spits on the sizzling new track.

Flo Milli shows fans her vulnerable side aboard her latest single ‘Never Lose Me.’
Released on December 1, the Lil Yachty-assisted cut sees the Alabama born beauty plead with her lover to stay in her life despite the hard times.
“Fly to Asia, he feedin’ me sushi (Ooh) / When we f-ckin’, it feel like a movie / Raw b-tch, ain’t never been a groupie / Stiff on a ho, I like my n-gga bougie (Yeah) / Tell me you don’t nevеr wanna lose me,” she raps on the Gerreaux-produced tune.

Billie Eilish‘s latest hit single, the ‘Barbie‘ soundtrack hit ‘What Was I Made For?,’ may have been released in July and reached its #21 peak on the Hot 100 in August, but it didn’t get its televised performance debut until the December 16 episode of ‘SNL‘ (hosted by Kate McKinnon).
On hand as the night’s musical guest, the GRAMMY and Academy Award-winning songstress rocked the house with a stunning rendition of the Andrew Wyatt-produced tune (which was recently nominated for a Golden Globe) before treating audience members to an equally smoky take on the timeless holiday classic ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.’
