Not even 24 hours after setting the MTV VMA Pre-show stage alight with ‘Hot Girl Summer’s first televised performance (click here to watch), Megan Thee Stallion is trotting toward putting the finishing touches on its long-awaited music video.

The clip’s premiere was reportedly delayed due to having to change its filming location, but the shake-up certainly didn’t put a permanent stay on production.  Taking to Twitter to reveal the visual is ‘coming soon,’ Meg gave fans – affectionately called #Hotties – their first glimpse of what she was cooking up with the video’s co-stars Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign.

Fans of STARZ flagship series, ‘Power,’ apparently couldn’t wait to find out the fates of the show’s leading characters (Ghost, Tasha, Tommy, and Angela) as their viewership helped the high octane drama lead cable ratings among premium cable channels on Sunday night (August 25).

Giving the show some of its highest numbers to date, ‘Power’ not only topped its subscriber based competition but also came as the night’s top rated scripted series as well.

See the charts below and find out just how many people tuned in:

Despite nabbing two top 10 placements on the Hot 100 playing assistant to Khalid and Sam Smith on their respective hits ‘Love Lies’ and ‘Dancing with a Stranger,’ former Fifth Harmony star Normani‘s not been able to replicate that success by her lonesome or as a leading act on a song [to date].

With her song ‘Waves’ failing to make a splash on charts, fans were undoubtedly worried the 23-year-old’s solo ship was set to sink before it sailed – that is, until ‘Motivation.’  Upon its August 16th unveiling, the Ariana Grande-penned, Max Martin-produced bop – with its slick bass, percussion, horn combo – has given the general public just the motivation they needed to perk up and pay attention.  That same encouragement was only underscored when the tune’s Dave Meyers-directed music video hit the net and helped lift it to top 5 on streaming and digital download services.

Now, with its inaugural tracking week behind it, look inside to see just where its handsome mix of sales, streaming, and radio airplay landed it for its debut placement on the Hot 100:

A case of more the merrier or overt overkill?

Now, C. Breezy looks set to be planning similar for his latest effort ‘Indigo’ – which dropped earlier this year.

Welcome to the latest TGJ Roundtable!

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.

Not even Swiffer could clean up the amount of dust rapper/singer Lil Nas X (born Montero Hill) paid reality star Bobby Lytes at this year’s MTV VMAs (August 26) despite what appeared to be multiple attempts to get the ‘Old Town Road’ hitmaker’s attention throughout the telecast.

Riding headlines last month for “shooting his shot” at Hill by sexualizing lyrics from the 20-year-old’s megahit (click here to read more on that), maybe Lytes didn’t think homeboy got the message.  His solution?  Try again in person – or at least that’s what Twitter thinks.

Dragging the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star for apparently hopping over to X’s row to show off his assless chaps, Bobby was also accused of excessively cheering for the star during his performance and subsequent award acceptance – all of which made for entertaining and sometimes awkward viewing.

As we reported here, Megan Thee Stallion‘s ‘Hot Girl Summer’ – with its #11 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 – has already proven itself to be quite a firestarter on the charts.

Coming as the 24-year-old’s biggest hit on the tally to date, the Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign-assisted cut achieved the sensational premiere on the back of streaming and digital downloads alone – ahead of the release of its official music video.  While fans wait with bated breath for the latter’s release, Stallion took to the MTV VMAs (by her lonesome) to not only render her inaugural performance on the platform but also the first televised showing of the cut.
