While many are accustomed to seeing Mariah Huq as part of the cast of reality hit ‘Married To Medicine,’ not as many are aware of the fact that she is the creator of show too.

A seasoned entrepreneur, it’s clear there’s more to the sassy star than gags and shade. And British charity Dress For Success agrees.
For, the institute (founded by fellow entrepreneur Juanita Ingram) recently awarded Huq the ‘Power of Women in Television & Media Award.’ 
That Grape Juice was on-hand for the presentation and caught up with Mariah shortly after. In our brief but sweet chat, she shares with TGJ her tips for being your best you.

New album alert!

Striking solid, soulful and sensual ground this year is Colombian Pop princess Kali Uchis and her brand new album ‘Isolation.’

Seasoned with sounds pulled from Psychedelic Soul, R&B, Latin-Pop, Dancehall and Pop, the album sees Uchis boldly soar through the themes of loneliness, depression, love, sex and the highs and lows of being a modern woman with an effortlessness that makes this album one that shouldn’t be ignored.

Ariana Grande is on the comeback trail.

The vocal wonder has maintained a notable silence since wrapping her ‘Dangerous Woman Tour’ last year.

As widely reported, the trek was marred by the horrific terror attack which took place at the Manchester Arena show. 19 attendees lost their lives.

With all eyes on Grande’s next move, sources say she’ll be making it in a mere matter of weeks.

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.

This week we believe it’s time to pay homage to 1998’s ‘Believe,’ the last chart-topping single from pop goddess Cher.  Delivered as the lead single from her 22nd album of the same name (click here to read our ode to the album in full), the song zoomed to #1 on the Hot 100 in five months after its release and eventually topped the charts of over 20 other countries.  The feat gave her several distinct honors, including:

  • Oldest artist to occupy #1 spot on Hot 100 (age 52 at the time)
  • Longest span between #1 singles (1974-1999)
  • Longest gap between first #1 single and last #1 single (1965-1999)

In the UK, the song was the first ever by a solo female to reach triple platinum status.  As of time reporting, it remains the biggest selling single by a solo female artist on our side of the pond.  Easily becoming a fan favorite of the timeless diva’s, the song snagged one Grammy for ‘Best Dance Recording’ at the 2000 ceremony.

Dethroned this week 19 years ago by R&B supergroup TLC, tuck in to relieve the magic of the tune and see who joined them in the top 25 this week in 1999:
