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 Machine Gun Kelly, Joel Corry, Mitski, and Caitlyn Smith.

Kanye West may be dominating headlines more for personal matters than professional as of late (i.e. relationship with Julia Fox, publicized spats with ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her new boyfriend Pete Davidson, and more), but the rapper’s dedicated fans aren’t letting the hoopla distract them from spinning his jams of yesteryear in preparation for the forthcoming LP, ‘Donda 2.’

Over 20 years into her career, Christina Aguilera is still managing to shake up headlines with new music.

Her latest project, the January 21-released Spanish-language EP ‘La Fuerza’ (which translates to ‘the force’ or ‘the strength’), went to chart battle on the strength of preceding singles “Pa’ Mis Muchachas” (featuring Becky G, Nicki Nicole, and Nathy Peluso), “Somos Nada,” and “Santo” (featuring Ozuna).

But while those tunes and a supportive international press run helped send the set to the top of global sales tallies (as we reported here), industry analysts predicted the ‘Fuerza’ Stateside figures wouldn’t mirror the fanfare it was receiving in international markets.

Look inside to see if they were right.

Doja Cat may have started with week in headlines thanks to the release of her out-of-this-world ‘Planet Her’ single ‘Get Into It (Yuh),’ but she ended it in headlines for someone else’s music.

Rappers $NOT and A$AP Rocky joined forces for the February 4 unveiling of their collaboration which bears the ‘Say So’ hitmaker’s name.  The latest single from his February 11-due new album, ‘Ethereal,’ controversy attached to the tune arrived once Cat’s fans – affectionately called #Kittens – took a listen to the lyrics.

I f*cked that b*tch named Doja Cat, pull up in a Scat Pack (Haha) / Windows tinted all black (Go, go), bulletproof and all that (Go),” $NOT spits on the chorus of the tune.

Just hours after its release, chatter around the song landed on the desk of Doja. Hop inside to see how she responded.

Tapping fellow hit rappers J. Cole and Moneybagg Yo to assist, the Gibbo-produced cut sees the trio trade verses about living the lavish life.

For almost two decades, Kanye West has dominated the pop-cultural landscape – with his music, his vision, and unwavering commitment to marching to the beat of his own drum.

Much has been said, written, and articulated about the polarizing Hip-Hop force but now he has teamed up with Netflix for a raw and unfiltered documentary special – ‘jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy.’

Comprised of three installments the first of which will premiere on February 16 and debut new parts weekly thereafter.

Over 21 years in the making, ‘jeen-yuhs’ will chronicle West’s journey from humble beginnings in Chicago to superstardom with a nuanced lens on his creative genius, relationship with his late mother Donda, as well the more controversial corners of the performer’s life.

As evidenced by her racy stage shows and jaw-dropping lyrics, Megan Thee Stallion has never been afraid to turn up the heat!  So, it should come as no surprise she’s taken to the booth to spit a scorcher in support of her recent Frito-Lay endorsement deal to promote their Flamin Hot Cheetos and Flamin Hot Cool Ranch Doritos product lines.

After sending her fans – affectionately called #Hotties – into a frenzy by unveiling the official tease of their Super Bowl commercial (in which she stars), she’s now cracked open a new single, ‘Flamin Hottie.’

“Damn, I’m so hot, can’t touch me/Just like Cheetos on your fingers, wanna suck me/ Sick of y’all hypin’ up all this bulls–t/ Thinkin’ hoes hotter than me/ Don’t push it,” she raps over a beat that prominently samples Salt-N-Pepa’s iconic 1988 hit ‘Push It.’

Bringing literal meaning to the phrase ‘all that and a bag of chips,’ hop inside to hear ‘Flamin’:
