Zayn has rediscovered his zeal for the spotlight. Case in point his dapper turn in the latest issue of Billboard magazine.

The former One Direction member set the world ablaze early last year with ‘Pillow Talk’ but quickly learned of the pitfalls of fame when admitted anxiety rendered him unable to perform live.

Having worked through those issues, he’s gearing up for the release of his sophomore album – and is even mapping out a major world tour.

Together, the collective delivered a rousing rendition of the track.

This Halloween the Hip-Hop royal Remy Ma turned heads when she stepped out as the villain Cruella Deville.

One way to describe the response to her brilliant take on the character? Well-received.

Alas, what wasn’t well-received was the error she made on Instagram hours ago when she thanked a fan for impersonating her on the night.

The problem? Said fan wasn’t impersonating her at all and was merely dressed in her casual everyday clothing. Unfortunately, all hell broke loose when fans of Ma’s nemesis Nicki Minaj spotted the error.

What happened next?

Chris Brown is no stranger to breaking the rules, as such it was little surprise that he’s done exactly that with the release of new album ‘Heartbreak On A Full Moon.’

Beyond coming in a colossal 45-tracks and only being available digitally, the set arrived on Halloween – which this year fell on a Tuesday.

This means that it can only benefit from three tracking days on the chart.

For many, it auto begs the question: how are the numbers stacking up? Well, the predictions are in and tea is poured below…

Chrisette Michele’s decision to endorse Donald Trump (an alleged friend to violent White Supremacists) has spelled trouble for her career.

The gifted songbird shocked fans when she performed at an event launched to celebrate Trump’s presidential win and the last year has seen her pay for that decision in ways she could have never imagined.

Miguel is marching on with the roll-out of new album ‘War & Leisure.’

The set is due to hit stores later this year and, having whet appetites with lead single ‘Sky Walker,’ the singer has unveiled the project’s official cover. Check it out above.

Last month the 32-host hosted an intimate listening session for the record in London, which That Grape Juice attended. And while we can’t say too much just yet, it’s definitely shaping up to be his strongest body of work yet.

Sam Smith is driving on full steam to the release of his long-awaited sophomore album ‘The Thrill Of It All.’

Due in stores worldwide tomorrow, the Brit-bred superstar is leaving no stone unturned in his promotional push for the project.

His latest stop was on ‘Carpool Karaoke’ with James Corden.

Perhaps one of the best instalments of the popular segment, Smith delivered heaps of personality as well as awesome renditions of songs such as ‘Too Good At Goodbyes’ and ‘I’m Not The Only One.’

He was hilariously joined by his favorite group Fifth Harmony for a joint showing of ‘Work From Home.’ 

All he fun awaits after the jump…

Hours after its release, Rihanna‘s faithful fan base – affectionately christened ‘The Navy’ – continue to sing the Grammy winner’s praises for her bars on N.E.R.D.‘s surprise drop, ‘Lemon.’

As we reported here, the tune has silenced and confirmed longstanding rumors of the Pharrell Williams-led group’s reunion and soon-to-come new album.  Featuring a flow from Rih that would make even the most seasoned emcees envious, her adventurous contribution to the cut earned a thumbs up from many – That Grape Juice included.

The problem?  Some are accusing the ‘Work’ wailer of fashioning her flow after another rapper/singer: Fergie.  See the Twitter responses inside and let us know if you agree:

Kendrick Lamar has had a hell of a year.

When seeing his latest album, ‘Damn,’ top the Billboard 200 with some of the year’s highest first week sales, the rapper is cranking out jaw-dropping videos (and live performances to match), collecting awards across the industry, and so much more.  As if that’s not enough, the year also granted his first #1 on the Hot 100 as a leading act thanks to ‘Humble’ (second overall in his career to his feature on Taylor Swift‘s ‘Bad Blood’).

The Mike Will Made It produced cut, which debuted on charts in April, not only topped the tally but spent its first 15 weeks in the top 10 before beginning its descent in August.  In fact, some 7 months later ‘Humble’ remains in the top 40 (as this week’s refreshed Hot 100 reveals).

The success of the tune has also helped it to a place in history books thanks to refreshed reports of sales data.  Just three months after being certified double platinum by the RIAA for its digital sales and streaming performance, this week brought with it news the chart-topping hit has become the first rap song of 2017 to exceed 1 million in pure sales.  Add to this, with streaming factored in, the song is now eligible for triple platinum status!

As we extend a hearty congratz to the rapper, tuck in below to see who joins him in the top 40 on this week’s refreshed “Chart Check”:
