Factually speaking, Adele has already “won” with the new album ’25’ – this, despite the LP being two weeks from its release.

Breaking pre-order records left and right, the ‘Hello’ led project is already tipped to deliver the biggest sales of the decade.

And still, no promotional stone is being left unturned. The British songstress is embarking on a media flood, one that will see her hit major stages both home and away – the latter of which will include stints on SNL and her own NBC holiday special.

First, though, will be a one-hour UK special – ‘Adele at the BBC’ – which’ll air November 20th…the day ’25’ arrives worldwide.

The chart titan will deliver tracks from the new album, as well as from predecessors ’19’ and ’21.’ Naturally, ‘Hello’ is one of said songs performed and, tonight, the BBC aired a preview on The One Show.

How does the hyper-hit sound live? You be the judge below…

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.

Now, let’s rewind to 2004’s megahit ‘My Boo’ – a tag teamed effort of R&B superstars Alicia Keys and Usher.  As Keys had a monster year with her sophomore effort ‘Diary’ the year prior (setting the record for highest first week sales for a female artist of color at the time), Ush was experiencing the similar success as his 2004 release ‘Confessions’ set the mark for highest first week sales for a male artist of color at the time. With such booming respective successes, and after the positive response of their remix Keys’ own ‘If I Ain’t Got You,’  it only seemed fitting the two would reunite for a redo.  Enter the Jermaine Dupri-produced ‘My Boo.’

Reigning at #1 for an impressive 6 weeks, the tune helped bring to close Usher’s uber-successful ‘Confessions’ era (which to date stands at 20 million sold worldwide). Get into it below:

Justin Bieber continues to generate excitement around his forthcoming album ‘Purpose’ by taking to the pages of Billboard magazine for a spot of promotion.
