As ever, be sure to keep it locked on That Grape Juice!
Happy New Year!

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 throw our hands up for the independent women of Destiny’s Child and their history-making hit found aboard the Cameron Diaz-led ‘Charlie’s Angels’ official soundtrack. Debuting at #1 in fall 2000, ‘Women’ lent the ladies of DC3 their third and longest running chart-topper on the Hot 100. Amassing an impressive 11 week run, the song currently stands in history books as the longest running #1 single by a female group.
Strut down memory lane with us and tuck in below to see what other familiar faces you see in the top 20 this week 15 years ago:
When she isn’t serving as the backbone of many a Pop princess’ career through song the creative force that is Sia can be found pushing her own material.
The name of her latest body of work? ‘This is Acting’, set to find its way to retailers on January 16th.
Fortunately, or unfortunately for fans of Katy Perry, the lyricist now finds herself on a promotional run where she is often quizzed on her experiences with the artists who seek her when crafting new albums.
Why this unfortunate for fans of the ‘Teenage Dreamer’?

R&B king R. Kelly caught some royal flack on social media after his last television outing saw him storm off set after being quizzed about his alleged criminal past.
Instead of dishing on that OMG-worthy when visiting ‘Good Morning America’ this week, the hitmaking crooner showed off his legendary pipes with a medley of his top hits (‘Ignition,’ ‘Bump & Grind’) and showed off his newest number ‘Backyard Party’ (from his latest album ‘Buffet’).
Did you miss any of the action? It awaits below:
Jennifer Lopez is making a media splash ahead of her television takeover next month.
La Lopez serves her trademark slayage a-front of the latest issue of the TV Guide magazine, which is apt as she’ll be all over screens in a mere matter of weeks.
‘Shades of Blue,’ her new NBC cop drama premieres January 7th, while her return to American Idol (for its final season) kicks off latter in the month. Also launching is her Las Vegas ‘All I Have’ residency at Planet Hollywood.
Busy times for the talented triple threat!

2015 has brought us countless great albums, and some not so great. Looking forward, there are a few artists who we are expecting to take 2016 by storm and anxiously awaiting their arrivals. Find out who after the jump!
The 38th annual ‘Kennedy Center Honors, hosted by Stephen Colbert, aired last night on CBS after being taped earlier this month at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
Honoring a group musicians, singers, playwrights, actors, and more whose lifelong contributions have greatly impacted their respective fields, last night’s honorees – Carole King, George Lucas, Ciccely Tyson, etc.- were serenaded by some of the days best movers and shakers (see: Janelle Monae, Sara Bareilles, and more).
But, as if their show-stopping performances weren’t enough, leave it to Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin to really show ’em how it’s done. Even moving President Obama to tears with her soul-stirring rendition of the 1967 classic, ‘Natural Woman,’ tuck in below to recap this and some of the night’s best performances:
Kendrick Lamar‘s ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’ recently surpassed sales of 750,000 units in the United States alone much to the delight of his swelling fan base and the critics who praised its bold and unashamedly hard hitting material.
What inspired its sound?
Lamar’s traumatic childhood which he discussed only during an interview set to shock those who know very little about his life before his rise to fame.

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.
This week, we’ll press play on the critically acclaimed, self-titled debut album of pint-size powerhouse Jojo: (more…)
Christmas week 2015 saw music superstars Chris Brown & Monica go head-to-head in the name of R&B amidst a fray of the year’s top sellers (see: Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Adele). Hoping to capitalize from the holiday rush, the RCA labelmates respectively lent their 8th official projects (‘Royalty’ and ‘Code Red‘) to much critical fanfare.
On the commercial front, however, the responses saw a wider margin of variance. Both launched without a top-performing single on the Hot 100, the R&B sets also took a more demure route to promo. While Mo hit the streets for a 22 date Stateside tour (and sparse media stops), Brown relied on a few print features and a slew of music videos to spread awareness about his project.
Were their approaches just right or did they miss the mark? Find out below:
