It’s been a rocky road for Kesha, but it appears there really is a pot of gold at the end of her ‘Rainbow.’

The singer had been locked in litigation for years with one of music’s most notable producers. And given the nature of her accusations (see: sexual misconduct) and the stakes involved, her career ground to an abrupt halt. A state it remained in for several years.

With the worst seemingly behind her (despite crushing blows in the courtroom), she this week released her third album – a record that is now poised to top the Billboard 200.

What are its numbers looking like? Join us below to find out…

Whether it’s via music or advocacy, Pink has always been outspoken.

And today is no different.

Last night, white supremacists took to marching in Charlottesville, Virginia and spewed race hate speech and promoted Nazi ideals.  Their goal? To force Virginia to break away as a lone state.

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 wanna go back to ‘I Don’t Wanna Fight’ – Tina Turner’s last top 10 hit on the Hot 100. Originally penned for Brit Soul singer Sade, the tune was eventually recorded by the Queen of Rock for inclusion on the official soundtrack of her autobiographical film, ‘What’s Love Got the Do With It?’ And, like the film, ‘Don’t Wanna Fight’ turned out to be quite the hit.

Hitting #9 on the Hot 100 (where it peaked this week 24 years ago), ‘Fight’ would go on to fight for the honor of ‘Best Female Pop Vocal Performance’ at the 1994 Grammy Awards (but lost out to Whitney Houston‘s ‘I Will Always Love You’).  Despite the loss, the song continues to be a favorite among Turner’s legendary catalog of hits.

As we press play on the heart-tugging number, tuck in to see who joined the Rock royal in the top 25 this week 24 years ago:
