Lady Gaga is wowing with her current winning streak.
December saw her named Billboard’s Woman of the Year, this month saw her nab a Golden Globe, and this morning morning she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song.
Now, the ‘Applause’ generator has been revealed as one of an elite list of artists tapped to front a major advertising campaign for the 58th annual Grammy Awards.

It’s showtime once again for dynamite diva Janet Jackson.
The Pop royal has unveiled revised US dates for her ‘Unbreakable World Tour’ after being forced to postpone much of its second leg due to the urgent need for surgery.
Holding true to her word, the 49-year-old has re-scheduled every date (sans one).
Let’s just say, Ms. Jackson will be “burning it up” across North America this Summer.
Dates and cities after the jump…
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 go back to our jam ‘Love Will Never Do’ – the 7th and final single from Janet Jackson‘s magnum opus ‘Rhythm Nation.’ Reaching the summit of the Hot 100 this week in 1991, the song knocked nemesis, Madonna, from the top spot with her controversial hit ‘Justify My Love.’ This feat, we’re sure, gave Jan’s fans added satisfaction (as if they didn’t already have enough to boast). For, ‘Love’ not only made the pop icon the only artist in history to achieve 7 top five singles from one album, it also gave her the distinct honor of being the only artist in history to have a #1 single over three different calendar years from one album.
Talk about iconic!
Get into this week’s ‘Chart Rewind’ below and see what other familiar faces you see in the top 25:
Last year, Usher raced back to the drawing board when the material released from his new album was proving slow to catch on.
At the time, the singer saved face by claiming he didn’t want to rush. But with several fizzled singles and a tour already in place, it was clear there had been a plan that didn’t play out as intended.
Undeterred, the Urban-Pop hitmaker spent much of 2015 locked in the lab attempting to manufacture a monster eighth album.
Jury’s out on whether he and his team have succeeded with that aim, but it appears the answer will materialize soon – because the project finally has a name.

It’s here!
Adele is the latest belter to buckle up for James Corden’s ‘Carpool Karaoke.’
The sure-to-go-viral segment debuted moments ago on ’The Late Late Show’ and sees the two Brits cruising through London (tea en toe) singing a number of hits from Ms. Adkins’ catalogue, as well as rapping Nicki Minaj’s verse in Kanye West’s ‘Monster’ and Spice Girls’ ‘Wannabe.’
’25,’ the songbird’s third studio album is already a gargantuan successes and moves like this will only serve to extend its domination.
The clip is all sorts of hilarious and it awaits below…
She may have said “goodbye” to the perch of the Hot 100 this week thanks to Justin Bieber, but on the album side of charts, there’s no dethroning Adele.
Indeed, shifting another 194,000 units (164k pure sales), the ‘Hello’ hitmaker greeted yet another week atop the Billboard 200. Bringing her overall count to 7.6 million in 7 weeks, ’25’s reign over the album charts comes as the longest consecutive run by a female in nearly 30 years.
“…25 becomes the first album by a woman to spend its first seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart since 1987 (and the first since Nielsen Music’s electronically-scanned point-of-sale data began powering the chart in 1991).
The only other album by a woman to chart its first seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 was Whitney Houston’s second album, Whitney, which bowed atop the list dated June 17, 1987, and ruled for 11 straight frames (through the chart dated Sept. 5).”
No stranger to ruffling the feathers of Whitney Houston fans (click here to read more on that), only time will tell if the Brit-born diva will be snatching another title from the legend’s list of accolades. Until then, get your weekly Billboard 200 and Hot 100 chart check below:
Beyonce has established herself as today’s top tour de force and it looks as though she’ll be flexing that muscle in 2016.

Rihanna‘s voice leaves a lot to be desired, but her brand is booming.
The Bajan sensation crossed the decade mark in the music industry last year and while the absence of her new album ‘ANTI’ has many debating her charting future, her marketability is not is doubt.

In a climate dominated by Adele, Chris Brown‘s recent release ‘Royalty’ was hailed a triumph after debuting at #3 on the Billboard 200 with sales of 164,000.
Considering this was a feat achieved with no hit single in sight, the project’s firm holding within the upper region of the US Top 20 is as impressive as it is surprising.
Suffice to say, it’s clear that the Virginia native has a loyal fanbase, who are willing, ready, and able to make their presence felt at retail.
However, a glance at the broader scope of Brown’s commercial standing, highlights why it’s arguably in his best interest to not revel in the momentary momentum but to instead remould his approach.
Follow us as we lay out why after the jump…
At 45 and fly, Mariah Carey is cutting the finest of figures these days.
The premium diva was snapped looking like a bag of money and good living last night at the 6th Biennial UNICEF Ball at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel.
Sponsored by Louis Vuitton, the gala saw Mimi headline with an array of her biggest hits including ‘We Belong Together,’ ‘Always Be My Baby,’ and the especially apt ‘Hero.’
We’re sure you’d agree that Carey’s glam squad were one of the the evening’s top MVPs, because whoever they are had her looking sensationally snatched!

Weeks separate the world from the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, set to air live on CBS on February 15th 2016.
On the night the biggest and brightest stars will align to celebrate the ceremony alongside the committee made up of the music industry’s movers and shakers who will decide which of them are to go home with gongs…and which are to leave the show empty handed.
Of course, the committee’s choices haven’t always been in line with the general public’s, slammed in the past for for “snubbing” releases launched by the likes of Indie Arie (‘Voyage to India‘), Beyonce (‘4‘), Katy Perry‘s hit-kissed and cohesive ‘Teenage Dream’ and the rapper Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Good M.A.A.D City.’
Now, as the award ceremony’s next creeps towards us TGJ is eager to find out what you think about the question below.
Weigh in below!
