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 Kacey Musgraves, Troye Sivan, Yebba, and Phoebe Bridgers.

From EMMY and Golden Globe-nominated actress and writer Issa Rae comes ‘Sweet Life: Los Angeles‘ – the new HBO Max show that looks at what it means to be young and ambitious through the lens of a group of 20-something-year-old long-time friends in southern California.

Through its exploration of love and the pursuit of dreams, the relatable unscripted series offers a unique take on the ‘coming of age’ motif.

Before its August 19 launch, look inside for its official trailer:

August 9 brought with it the 15th anniversary of Christina Aguilera‘s third studio album, the critically-acclaimed ‘Back to Basics.’

Lauded as a masterful, modern homage to music’s big band/jazz era of the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s, the project solidified Xtina’s role as her generation’s top sonic chameleon – daringness rewarded with her highest first-week sales to date.

Now, as fans – affectionately called #Fighters – prepare for the diva’s long-awaited new album, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has gone to press to reveal said fans haven’t exactly slowed on spinning her golden jams of yesterday.

After a unique ascend, H.E.R. finally unwrapped her debut album ‘Back of My Mind’ this week.

The 21-track LP was preceded by the singer’s years on the live circuit and steady building an audience by way of critically acclaimed EPs and single releases.

The unorthodox approach has been proven fruitful for the songbird – who has nabbed multiple GRAMMYs, a Golden Globe, and an Oscar.

With her first full-length body of work here, many are anticipating how/if her preceding success will help the album fare.

Well, wonder no more because the first-week forecast is here.

Giveon may have lost out on his first Best R&B Album GRAMMY win at Sunday’s ceremony (March 14), but the nomination alone speaks volumes about the noise the newcomer’s been making over the last few months.

Ungodly is just one of many choice words Chloe x Halle fans are using to describe the duo’s unceremonious shut out at the 2021 GRAMMYs.

After scoring their highest charting efforts on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 respectively with their sophomore album, 2020’s ‘Ungodly Hour,’ and its lead single, ‘Do It,’ the sister act expectedly earned multiple nominations at the show’s 63rd annual edition.

What wasn’t expected was that they’d be going home empty-handed before the show even started.

“Historic” seems to be the theme of the 63rd annual GRAMMY Awards.

In just the pre-show alone, the ceremony’s broken its record books wide open by handing out unprecedented awards to the likes of Tiffany Haddish, Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, Blue Ivy Carter (daughter of Beyonce), and more (as we’ve reported here).  And if the recently reported wins are anything to judge by, they’re not stopping any time soon.

As one of the best-selling recording artists of all-time, Celine Dion is no stranger to collecting certification plaques from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

One of few female artists to boast earning multiple Diamond-selling albums over her illustrious career, the international diva’s hit-filled catalog knows few rivals across music history – a truth cemented by the ongoing success of some of her beloved classics over 20 years after their respective releases.
