Given the hold ‘Hold Me Closer’ has had on digital sales tallies since its August 26 release, the Elton John and Britney Spears tune is not only promising to unseat Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Super Freaky Girl’ as the year’s best first-week single seller but it’s also threatening to debut in the top 10.

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 Ava Max, Louis Tomlinson, The 1975, and Flor.

Justin Timberlake flexes his bilingual skills as assistant on the new Romeo Santos song ‘Sin Fin.’

Found aboard the King of Bachata’s newly-released album ‘Formula Vol. 3,’ the duo’s collaboration comes after what Santos says was a ‘year of trying’ to get the former *NSYNC frontman on a track.

Now, the two can be seen trading verses in an Emil Nava-directed clip.

“You already know this love is all yours baby/So, take it,” Timberlake croons on the chorus. “We’ve been here before/It’s strong enough to save us.”

After days of teasing the video is finally here for your viewing pleasure.  See it inside.

Ne-Yo‘s latest album, the July 15-released ‘Self Explanatory,’ may log his first LP to miss the top 40 of the Billboard 200 upon its debut, but that’s certainly not stopping the singer-songwriter from attempting to turn the tide on its success narrative.

Undoubtedly dominating headlines as of late for more personal matters than professional (see: looming divorce, accusations of infidelity, etc.), Ne-Yo (born Shaffer Smith) is looking to bring the focus back to his music by releasing another single from the ill-fated opus.

Titled ‘Layin Low,’ the single features rising R&B artist Zae France and sees the two trade verses about a good girl who’s gone bad after getting a taste of the city life.

“You in L.A, but ain’t layin’ low / You out that way just to gas you up / Oh girl, I know you out there / You ain’t like that, no
You in L.A, but ain’t layin’ low / You ain’t layin’ low (’cause you outside),” they croon on the cut’s chorus.

Hear the song in full inside and peep it’s accompanying music video.

As the October 29 due date for his new album ‘Girls’ Night Out’ gets closer, expect to see more of Babyface on the promo trail in its support.

Just weeks after unveiling another taste of content set to board the project, the Kehlani-assisted ‘Seamless‘ (click here to listen), the legendary singer-songwriter has gifted fans a music video for the LP’s Ella Mai-assisted lead single – ‘Keeps On Fallin.’

While the tune famously samples Tevin Campbell‘s eternal hit ‘Can We Talk’ (also penned by Babyface), its accompanying visual samples looks and feels from Netflix’s breakout drama ‘Bridgerton.’

Also featuring appearances from screen stars Tiffany Haddish and Kendrick Sampson, look inside to see the action.

‘God Did,’ the latest album from DJ Khaled, is headed to #1 on next week’s Billboard 200 if industry analysts’ predictions are to be believed (as we reported here).  But to aid the set’s success narrative, the GRAMMY winner is rolling out a slew of music videos in its support.

Already blessing ‘God’-housed cuts like the Future and SZA-assisted ‘Beautiful,’ the 21 Savage-enlisted ‘Way Past Luck,’ ‘Party‘ (featuring Quavo and Takeoff), and ‘Keep Going’ (ft. Lil Durk, 21 Savage, & Roddy Ricch) with the visual treatment (as we reported here), the Kodak Black and Nardo Wick-backed ‘It Ain’t Safe’ as well as the jam-packed ‘Streets Know My Name’ also have accompanying clips that recently surfaced.

Both filmed under the direction of Ivan Berrios, the former takes to Jamaica and calls on Reggae icons Skillibeng, Buju Banton, Capleton, Bounty Killer, and Sizzla to help give Khaled the grand tour.  The latter sees its performers turn up Stateside while flexing their luxury items around scantily clad beauties.

All the action awaits inside:
