Tamar Braxton has promised her faithful #Tamartians a gem from her forthcoming album, ‘Bluebird of Happiness,’ every week until it’s due in full on September 29th.  The latest of her promise has come in the form of the up-tempo, ‘Pick Me Up.’

Featuring a sizzling sample of Evelyn King‘s timeless 1982 groove, ‘Love Come Down,’ ‘Pick’ is undoubtedly a party-starter, a welcomed ode to Braxton’s love for old school music topped with her even more impressive vocal displays.

As we reported here, this week saw Taylor Swift achieve the ultra-rare feat of having two Hot 100 top 5 singles simultaneously chart once again in her career.  The first time (in late 2014) the pop diva not only placed two songs in the chart’s topmost quintet of positions, but also made history as the first female to replace herself atop the tally (when ‘Shake It Off’ ceded to ‘Blank Space’).

Fast forward to this week, she’s done it again with her single ‘…Ready For It,’ which debuted at #4 while its predecessor – ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ – continues to occupy the top spot.

As her fans continue to ring in their praises for the accomplishment, we must remind them she’s not exactly alone among females who have known the honor at least once in their careers.  Tuck in below to see a list of other daring divas who can lay claim to the same [solo acts only]:

Look up any chart this year and Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, and DJ Khaled will have been firm fixtures.

It’s fitting, then, that the trio lead the nominations for the BET Hip-Hop Awards 2017.

Listed in all of the main categories, the group are followed by both JAY-Z and Chance The Rapper, who have nabbed five noms a piece.

Set to tape at The Fillmore in Miami on October 6th, the annual extravaganza will broadcast on BET on October 10th.
 
This year’s show sees the spectacle move from Atlanta to Florida and organizers are keen to support those affected by the hurricanes in the region.
BET Interim Head of Programming Connie Orlando said in a statement:

“While BET is extremely excited to bring BET ‘Hip Hop Awards’ 2017 to Miami, Florida, we remain sensitive to the millions of victims affected by Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Harvey. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with those who are facing the impact of this catastrophic storm. As a network, we are committed to offering our full support during this most devastating time. Through Hip Hop Awards 2017, our ‘Hip Hop for Hurricane Relief’, will bring together some of the biggest names in hip hop to acknowledge those in need as the country begins the difficult process of rebuilding.”

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

So, just 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 press play on ‘Promise of a New Day’ – the second single from Paula Abdul‘s chart-topping, multi-platinum sophomore album, ‘Spellbound’ (1991).  ‘Promise’ –  with big shoes to fill following the mega-success of the set’s lead single (#1 hit ballad ‘Rush Rush’) – certainly did not fail to live up to the challenge.  Released while its predecessor was still dominating charts, ‘Promise’ eventually found its way to the top of the Hot 100 itself where it can be found this week in 1991.  Dethroned just a week later (and going down in history as her sixth and final run atop the singles charts), it may not have known the 5-week stint of ‘Rush,’ but it certainly remains a fan favorite of the songstress nearly 3 decades later.

Relive ‘New Day’ inside and see who joined Paula in the top 25 this week in 1991:
