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 Shania Twain, Ellie Goulding, Inhaler, and Caroline Polachek.

After soaring to the top of Pop charts together with 2001’s ‘Lady Marmalade’ remake, powerhouse Pop divas Christina Aguilera and P!nk soared to the top of each other’s sh*tlists – stoking a feud that lasted nearly 16 years before calling a truce in 2017.

In the years since both have revealed their road to reconciliation included the recording of a duet that never surfaced, but neither party counted out the chance it could eventually hit the airwaves.

Look inside to see the reaction of P!nk (born Alecia Moore) when she was recently quizzed on the status of the highly anticipated tune.

A year after reaching its Hot 100 top 20 peak, ‘Hrs & Hrs’ – the breakthrough single of Muni Long – continues to clock major streams on digital music platforms like Spotify.

To capitalize off its enduring impact, the obstinate ballad recently got a facelift in the form of a Spanish edition as part of the GRAMMY nominee’s ‘Spotify Singles’ spotlight.

Titled ‘Horas Y Horas,’ the repackaged cut comes courtesy of production from GRAMMY-winning duo The Avila Brothers.

“Lo tuyo, es mío, ahora/ Puedo hacer esto por horas/ Sentar y hablarte aquí por horas/ Regalarte unas rosas/ Nos bañamos en las olas/ De champaña y una cena/ Pero eres tu que me devoras,” she croons on the loose translation of her R&B chart-topping hit.

‘Hrs’ wasn’t the only song getting the remake treatment from Muni, however.  She also reimagined The Carpenters’ (and later Luther Vandross) classic ‘Superstar.’

While hot on the promo trail last year for her latest film, VH1’s ‘Hip Hop Family Christmas Wedding‘, singer-songwriter Keri Hilson waxed honest about her forthcoming musical endeavors and even addressed ‘false starts’ that left some of her puzzled about if they would ever get the official follow-up to 2010’s ‘No Boys Allowed’ LP.

Fast forward to this week, Miss Keri Baby is reassuring her longtime supporters that she has not only been creating a collection of tunes to line a new album but they will likely hear the first fruit of the labor this year.

Over a year after the release of their debut album, ‘An Evening with Silk Sonic,’ R&B supergroup Silk Sonic continues to see the effort and its housed hits collect gains on streaming and digital sales outlets.

The LP’s lead single, the chart-topping ‘Leave the Door Open,’ closed in on double Platinum status just four months after it first hit airwaves – a feat that helped its parent project soar to a Platinum certification at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) a year later.

And while fans wait with bated breath on news if the successful duo will be giving ‘Evening’ an official follow-up, the set’s second single – ‘Smokin Out the Window’ – continues to blaze its own successful path at the RIAA.
