After thrilling fans with comeback singles, ‘Another Love Song’ and ‘Good Man,’ R&B singer/songwriter Ne-Yo makes good on his promise to keep the new music coming with the tropical-tinged tune, ‘Push Back.’

Tapping fellow singer/songwriter Bebe Rexha and Brit-born femcee Stefflon Don to assist, the cut – the latest lifted from his forthcoming LP ‘Good Man’ – sounds like just what the crooner will need to hoist him to his former R&B chart glory.

It’s the interview few thought would happen. Beyonce and Solange’s Mathew Knowles finally sat down with Wendy Williams.

Though on the pink coach to promote his book ‘Racism From The Eyes Of A Child,’ the Knowles patriarch was quizzed on everything from a Destiny’s Child reunion, his present-day relationship with his children and grandkids, remarrying, colorism in the music business, and much more.

Readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.

So, as our retrospective features ‘From the Vault’ and ‘TGJ Replay’  allow us the chance to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday of one artist, our newest feature Chart Rewind – a variation of our current Retro Rewind assay – accedes salutes to an entire era of music history.

In honor of her 32nd birthday (March 28), this week we’ll call on Lady Gaga‘s 2010 megahit ‘Telephone.’ Originally penned for and later passed on by Britney Spears, Gaga eventually took the reins on the Darkchild-produced tune and consulted industry gal pal/‘Video Phone’ co-star Beyonce to support.  The result?  Absolute slayage.

With a fierce short music film to assist, the song debuted in the top 30 in early December 2009.  By March 2010, it was already in the top 10 (where it peaked at #3 this week that year).  Becoming Gaga’s sixth consecutive top 10 hit and Beyonce’s 14th as a solo artist, the tune would go on to nab a Grammy nod and sell an impressive 3.5 million copies in the United States alone.

Once a proud proponent of the “album a year” model, Rihanna has in recent years steered in a different direction.

But that hasn’t been without bumps along the way.

Indeed, her last album ‘ANTI’ was marred by multi-year delays and spurned several “lead singles” before eventually striking gold with Drake collaboration ‘Work.’

And while the 2016 set would go on to birth other moderate hits such as ‘Needed Me’ and ‘Love On The Brain,’ it didn’t deliver smashes in the manner she’s accustomed to. A reality some say caused the LP’s like-titled tour to routinely play to half-empty venues.

To remedy this, RiRi is reportedly looking to embrace a more mainstream sound on her next go round.
