As if the summer isn’t already hot enough, July has simply been brimming and blazing with highly anticipated releases from some of pop’s heaviest hitting female artists.

Just last night alone pop princess Britney Spears and Katy Perry dropped their long-awaited new releases.  For fans of Spears, the new song, ‘Make Me,‘ came after a year-long await and followed the failed, Iggy Azalea-assisted ‘Pretty Girls.’  For #KatyCats, the tune, ‘Rise,’ follows releases found from her 2013 chart-topping set ‘Prism.’

Spears may have shot to #1 on iTunes quicker than her competitor, but Perry’s fanbase is already ‘roaring’ loud and clear as they (as of time reporting) have hoisted their leader to the digital tally’s top spot.

Yet, while the two pop princesses are getting the most buzz around their respective releases, fans of Tinashe are still moving and grooving to her Dream-produced cut ‘Superlove.‘  The song, also released last night, is getting a thumbs up from some of the same critics who can’t keep their fingers off the ‘play’ button to bump July’s other hot releases – Fergie‘s ‘M.I.L.F. $’ and Zayn‘s ‘Cruel.’

Now, with all heat coming to us at once, we must ask you – That Grape Juice faithful – who is your fave of the pack?
