We thought August 28 and October 2 were the most jam-packed music release dates of the year, but boy were we wrong! November 20 brought it with a plethora of Pop, Hip Hop, and R&B gems to brighten the last quarter of 2020.
A particularly active period for Rap, Megan Thee Stallion delivered her long-awaited debut album, ‘Good News’ (click here to stream), fellow Rap titan Jeezy unveiled ‘Recession 2’ (the conceptual sequel to his 2008 Billboard 200 chart-topping ‘Recession’ album), and DaBaby stunned fans with a surprise EP dedicated to his late brother (click here to stream).
Elsewhere, K-Pop sensation BTS unleashed ‘BE’ (click here to stream) – their highly-anticipated follow-up to February 2020’s Platinum-certified ‘Map of the Soul: 7.’ The 8-song project, arguably the most buzzed about album on the planet this week, most famously features the septet’s inaugural Hot 100 chart-topping hit, ‘Dynamite.’
Speaking of the Hot 100, the competition will be its steepest there as not only will existing hits have to compete with the singles and album cuts of the previously mentioned projects, but new singles from Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber, Kelly Rowland, Big Sean and Post Malone, Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa, Jazmine Sullivan, Lana Del Rey, and more have come to play.
With this delicious buffet of new music laid out for consumption, That Grape Juice wants to know:
