This week saw Mariah Carey presented with the Icon honor at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards. 

And deservingly so.

Few careers can rival the colossal heights Mimi’s has ascended to.

With over 200 million (pure) records sold and 18 #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 (which she reminds us “is difficult to get. Not everybody has that”), the legendary chanteuse has blazed a trail and etched her name in the history books. On many a page.

When examining her treasure chest of brilliance, classics such as ‘Hero’ and ‘We Belong Together’ – for many – shine brightest.

However, here at That Grape Juice, we see no time more opportune than the present to delve into some of the diva’s more obscure gems.

Join us below as we countdown TGJ’s Top Underrated Mariah Carey Bops…

After her comeback single, ‘Sally Walker,’ walked her name right to its highest placement on the Billboard Hot 100 since 2016’s ‘Team,’ Grammy-nominee Iggy Azalea and her team took the song’s commercial performance as indication there’s clearly still demand for the rapstress.

Rather than rest on their laurels, Azalea and co. cooked up hype for its follow-up, ‘Started.’  Viewers of the ‘Walker’ video heard a sample of the cut at the end of its funeral-inspired visual.  Now, after ample teasing on social media fans can hear the song in full.

The latest offering from the 28-year-old’s long-awaited sophomore album, ‘In My Defense,’ listen to ‘Started’ inside:

Fans who have had enough of waiting for new music from Fantasia got their fix moments ago when the Grammy winner unveiled the first listen to her new single, ‘Enough.’

The guitar-powered, R&B slow burner – reminiscent of 80’s and 90’s jams past – is the first taste of what the diva’s serving up from her highly anticipated 6th LP (the follow-up to 2016’s ‘The Definition Of’).

Kylie Minogue shone atop of the charts with last year’s ‘Golden’ and now, as she gears up for a headlining set at Glastonbury, is celebrating her colossal catalogue.

On June 28th, the globally loved diva will release greatest hits set ‘Step Back In Time – The Definitive Collection.’

Boasting a tracklist that spans the length and breadth of Minogue’s 30 year career, the 41-song set also features new number ‘New York City.’

A marked departure from the Country elements she toyed with on her last LP, the club jam manages to be be anchored in the nostalgic while still sounding fresh.

This Sunday night brings with it the premiere of the ‘Real Housewives Of Potomac’ season 4.

The latest branch of the ‘Housewives’ franchise has been bearing juicy fruit as it’s garnered a solid viewership of its own.

Per the recently shared supertrailer, its newest run promises many a dramatic twist and turn.

One of the show’s most notable names Gizelle Bryant stopped by The Wendy Williams Show to spill on what folk can expect from RHOP this go round.

Ever one for good talk, the conversation somehow saw the former church first lady also dish on ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ alum Phaedra Parks and her words weren’t particularly endorsing.

Watch all the sassy action after the jump…
