In news no one could have predicted, Lady Gaga‘s critically divisive third studio album – 2013’s ‘ARTPOP’ – is getting its due justice thanks to an aggressive fan campaign that could not only lead to a recharting on the Billboard 200 but also the release of its highly requested “sequel.”

Yesterday was bittersweet for Tashera Simmons, the ex-wife of DMX. Because while it brought with it her 50th birthday, the occasion arrived one day after the father of her four children died at the same age.
As widely reported, the MC had suffered a heart attack (allegedly as the result of an overdose) and lay in a coma for almost a week. He sadly did not make it.
Joining the masses in honoring the man she was married to from 1999 to 2014, Tashera shared a bittersweet message.

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 Taylor Swift, The Veronicas, John Splithoff, and Malia Civetz.

Just hours after the death of DMX was announced Friday (April 9), fans of the legendary rapper-actor have turned to digital download and streaming platforms for consolation.
Albeit a common response to reports of the passing of a beloved musician, X’s catalog – unlike some – is seeing multiple entries dominate real-time iTunes charts, including the fan favorite ‘Ruff Ryder’s Anthem’ (which sits at #1 at Rap iTunes).
Besting the likes of Cardi B, Saweetie, Drake, and a host of other current hitmakers, look inside for more:
Queen Naija is firing back.
She took to her defense after critics slammed the singer over the cover artwork for her new song ‘Set Him Up’ featuring Ari Lennox.

Sex and satanism sell. Need proof? Ask Lil Nas X.
The GRAMMY winner, thanks to the controversy surrounding the music video of his latest hit ‘Call Me By Your Name,’ is seeing his name printed atop real-time streaming and sales charts.
With industry analysts already predicting the song will premiere at #5 on next week’s Hot 100, the updated numbers may see it open even higher.

H.E.R. is keeping the new music coming.
The GRAMMY-winner has teamed up with Christian pop-rock singer Tauren Wells for a remix to her song ‘Hold Us Together.’
The track was previously released late last year and has now received an updated version. The original version of the song made its first appearance in the Disney film ‘Safety.’
The movie is based on the real-life experiences of Ray McElrathbey, a football player who battled family adversity to join the Clemson Tigers.
Listen to H.E.R.’s latest offering below…
‘Leave the Door Open,’ the debut single from newly-formed band Silk Sonic (comprised of GRAMMY winners Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak), is opening the door to some impressive stats for both artists.
Released March 5, the Bruno-Anderson collaboration hadn’t even been available 24 hours before it shot to #1 on the real-time iTunes sales chart – leapfrogging over tunes from the likes of Drake, Dua Lipa, Cardi B, and other hitmakers in the process. At writing, it remains in the tally’s top spot.
That commercial response, coupled with the 70’s-inspired song’s handsome debut streaming figures, saw ‘Open’ close its inaugural sales tracking week with some impressive numbers.
The 2021 GRAMMYs may have delivered a number of stunning wins, jaw-dropping snubs, and high octane stage performances, but few are getting the chatter given to Dua Lipa.
In addition to nabbing a victory in the Best Pop Vocal Album category for her sophomore LP, ‘Future Nostalgia’ (which marks her third GRAMMY win overall), Lipa left tongues wagging after her spirited stage showing – performing a medley of her hits ‘Levitating’ (alongside rapper DaBaby) and ‘Don’t Start Now.’
Viewers were particularly drawn to the latter portion of the medley it seems as the tune has popped to the top of Pop iTunes!
Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!
Though comprised of seasoned writers who share a similar outlook on Urban Pop culture, the idiosyncrasies of the TGJ team members often lend for quite heated debates “behind the scenes” about the hottest topics.
Now, we give you a front-row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ or ‘The Real’, TGJ editors – Sam, Rashad, Joe, and Ryan – get real in a very candid way.
Today’s roundtable topic asks each anchor their thoughts on the…
Sharon Osbourne has changed her tune.
The Talk anchor made headlines this week when she vented with ample volume in support of her friend Piers Morgan, whose shocking dismissal of Meghan Markle‘s suicidal feelings saw him “leave” popular UK morning show Good Morning Britain. A development that took place against the backdrop of over 41,000 formal complaints about his conduct to UK regulator Ofcom.
With Markle’s claims – which were shared during her and Prince Harry‘s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey – centering on media scrutiny that she and her husband say was racially charged, it sparked a conversation about whether Morgan’s dismissal was rooted in racism.
As Osbourne’s co-host’s attempted to argue that to be true, she erupted in a shocking showing that many felt reeked of privilege and demonstrated a brand of anger that was more concerned with being accused of aligning with racism than demonstrating furor over the actual racism thrown Markle’s way.
See the initial segment that lit the match (most especially the exchange with Sheryl Underwood) and Osbourne’s freshly issued “apology” to the Black community below…
