As owner of three of the top 10 longest-running Hot 100 solo #1 hits of all time (‘Irreplaceable,’ ‘Baby Boy,’ and ‘Crazy in Love‘), it only makes sense that Beyonce – already named Billboard’s “greatest Pop star of the century” – finds her name printed more than any other female act on site’s recently published ‘500 Best Pop Songs’ list.
Robert Finley has new music out.
The prominent blues and soul singer has released his latest album, ‘Black Bayou.’ Hot on the promotional trail for the project, he sat down with That Grape Juice to dish about everything from working with Dan Auberach of the Black Keys on it, his time on ‘America’s Got Talent,’ and more.
Join us below for his words on these topics and so much more…
Readers of That Grape Juice know how passionate we are about music – whether that be past or present.
However, unlike our other segments – Retro Rewind, TGJ Replay, and From The Vault – The Pop Stop is the most in-depth look at Pop songs that may have flown under the radar over the last week that you should know, rather they be from music’s biggest stars or those on the rise.
This week, we want to highlight cuts from Ella Henderson, RIIZE, Samira, and The Wandering Hearts.

Mariah the Scientist makes her Epic Records debut courtesy of the new album, ‘To Be Eaten Alive.’
Kicked off by the singles ‘Bout Mine’ and ‘From a Woman’ (which was answered by her boyfriend Young Thug with his cut ‘From a Man‘), the 10-track affair boasts guest appearances from Thug as well as 21 Savage and Vory.
Her first body of work since 2022’s ‘Buckles Laboratories Presents: the Intermission’ EP, hop inside to stream ‘Alive’ courtesy of Apple Music and Spotify.
Despite watching her critically acclaimed last studio album, 2022’s ‘Good Morning Gorgeous,’ be a leader among 2023 GRAMMY nominees (only to be completely shut out), Mary J. Blige‘s road to GRAMMY redemption is already getting being trotted thanks to her new single ‘Still Believe in Love.’
Featuring optimistic lyrics about continuing to pursue romance despite previous failures in the arena, Blige taps her signed artist Vado to assist on the touching record.
“Just because you see me alone, and I’m all on my own / It don’t mean a thing / Just know I can find me somebody so easily,” she croons on the new song. “I can’t lower my standards / I demand a guy / To treat me like the queen that I be.”
Ahead of the arrival of its official music video on Friday afternoon (October 27), hear ‘Still Believe’ in full below.
Taylor Swift sits in Billboard history books as the only artist to ever amass 10 #1 hits on the Hot 100 (singles) and Billboard 200 (albums) charts respectively when her latest topper of the former tally, ‘Cruel Summer,’ ascended to the throne earlier this week.
Now, the history-making diva is set to add another notch to her Billboard 200 count thanks to the unveiling of the long-awaited ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version).’
Her fourth re-recorded LP following the chart-topping ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version),’ ‘Red (Taylor’s Version),’ and ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),’ ‘1989’ comes as a featureless affair that boasts the updated versions of the 2014-released effort’s original tracklist (i.e. ‘Blank Space,’ ‘Bad Blood,’ ‘Shake It Off,’ etc.) as well as vault tracks ‘Say Don’t Go,’ ‘Now That We Don’t Talk,’ ‘Suburban Legends,’ ‘Is It Over Now,’ and ‘Slut!’

The City Girls unlocked their third studio album ‘RAW’ last week.
And while fans of the Hip-Hop duo are rejoicing, select corners of the culture haven’t been as endorsing with their comments. Especially when it comes to the early sales projections for the project.
As reported, the group briefly addressed the somewhat mute rollout of the project – citing “bad management.”
Now, after being chastised about her specific efforts pushing the LP, member Yung Miami has clapped back at the critique.

The City Girls have long had a reputation for keeping it candid.
And the duo lived up to that billing during a visit to ‘The Breakfast Club’ today (October 26).
Chopping it up with Charlemagne Tha God and DJ Envy, JT and Yung Miami waxed honest about the rocky roll-out of their latest album ‘RAW.’
Revealing that they presently have “bad management” (in actuality, no management), the ladies reflected honestly on their predicament saying:
“You can’t keep moving off culture. You have to move off strategy.”
Individually, they didn’t hold back on the various hot topic scenarios they’ve found themselves in.
JT opened up about her desire to drop a solo album and the real reason behind her BET altercation with boo Lil Uzi Vert.
Elsewhere, Yung Miami revealed she and Diddy still “go together real bad” – although she’s looking to settle down. She also spilled on shooting a reality show.

It’s still award season and the Billboard Music Awards 2023 is up next.
Taking place on November 19, the event will honor some of the most commercially impactful releases over the last year.
And, for the first time ever, the BBMAs will unwrap performances and awards across BBMAs and Billboard social channels.
Today (October 26) has seen the much-anticipated nominations unveiled. And it brings with it good news for the likes of Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, SZA, The Weeknd, Drake, and Zach Bryan.
In a first-of-its-kind ‘Fans First’ collaboration with Spotify, this year’s show brings audiences up close and personal with their favorite acts.
The BBMAs and Spotify have teamed up to identify fans who have consumed the most hours of music over the past year and ultimately helped lift their favorite artists to the top spots on the Billboard charts. These super fans will receive a “golden ticket” – which rewards them with access to attend a once-in-a-lifetime performance curated by their favorite artists for the BBMAs.
Speaking on the unique activation, Maddy Mesevage, SVP, Marketing at dick clark productions said:
“We’ve heard the fans loud and clear, and we’re excited to meet them where they are, and everywhere they want to consume music and content. This year’s show is an epic celebration of the fans who propelled their favorite artists to the top of the Billboard charts. To thank them, we are thrilled to work with Spotify and the artists themselves to offer their most loyal fans an experience they’ll never forget.”
With The Rolling Stones riding high off the release of their new album ‘Hackney Diamonds,’ the legendary rockers enlisted Lady Gaga to join them live on stage to perform their new collaboration.
As reported, ‘Sweet Sounds of Heaven’ is housed on the critically acclaimed LP and has officially been serviced as the set’s second single.
Lighting a match under the track, the collective ignited the stage live at Racket NYC.
