azealia banks-thatgrapejuice

Much like Iggy Azalea, recent headlines have seen Azealia Banks’ name inked more for her Twitter antics than chart-positions or music happenings.  The result of which saw fans and critics alike urge the rapstress to take a break from the social media outlet – or at least redirect some of that energy to the studio.

Finally, much like her Aussie arch nemesis, the ‘ATM Jam’ beauty has finally shared news that she’s heeding their advice and giving her fiery fingers a rest from darting 140 characters worth of attacks on her contemporaries.  Unlike Azalea, Banks’ break is far from indefinite as she has given her departure a deadline.

academyawards-2015-thatgrapejuice

For all of the tweet-worthy moments over its lengthy 3.5 hour airtime (see: emotional speeches, off-color commentary, jaw-dropping live performances courtesy of Jennifer Hudson, John Legend & Lady Gaga), the day after the  87th annual Academy Awards is finding the show lining tweets for another reason – a severe drop in ratings.

The Neil Patrick Harris-hosted affair, which aired February 22 on ABC, not only brought with it a 17% drop in viewers from last year’s showing, but also reigns as the ceremony’s lowest ratings tally this decade.

Not even the combined powers of music super divas Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Jennifer Hudson were enough to shift killer ratings for the second installment of the ‘Grammy tribute’ series – this time paying homage the academy’s most decorated artist Stevie Wonder.

Airing February 15th on CBS, the showing – a critics top pick –  did manage to draw a respectable viewing audience, but still nearly less than half of last year’s episode in honor of the Beatles (which drew a whopping 13.95 million viewers).  The numbers are all the more disappointing as, unlike the Beatles tribute, Wonder’s installment had little competition elsewhere on television.

But, as reports below reveal, all was not lost.  For, after the likes of Pharrell Williams, Ariana Grande, Janelle Monae, John Legend, and Ed Sheeran put their ever modern twists on Wonder’s classic hits, interest in the 70s & 80s numbers found itself skyrocketing on top sites Spotify and Shazam.
