‘TGJ Replay’ is back!

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest retrospective segment to act as a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.  Next up?  Unsung R&B beau Elgin Baylor Lumpkin, better known as Ginuwine.

Get into his 1999 sophomore album ‘100% Ginuwine’ below:

It’s that time of year again.

The American Music Awards are around the corner, which means there’s no time better than the present to unveil the list of nominees for the 2014 edition of the show.

Set to air on November 23rd live from Los Angeles, this year sees Iggy Azalea and John Legend lead the pack with six nominations a piece. Pharrell Williams follows with five, while chart force Beyonce earns four – notably in a number of major categories.

Interestingly, the criteria for nominations are sales, airplay, activity on social networks, and video viewing. The period of eligibility for singles and albums released is between 1 December of the previous year and 1 September of the current year. A fact which makes Ariana Grande‘s  omission an intriguing story in itself.

In any case, peep the full list of nominees below…
