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 get to press play on ‘Get the Party Started,’ the lead single from P!nk‘s sophomore effort ‘Missundazstood.’  Launched fall of 2001, the tune – composed by Linda Perry (also famous for Christina Aguilera‘s ‘Beautiful’ & songs by Adele, Miley Cyrus, etc.) – quickly grooved its way up to the top 10 and can be found at #4 on the Hot 100 this week in 2002 (where it peaked).

Remaining a fan favorite of the rebellious rhythmic rocker, tuck in below to traipse down memory lane and see who joined P!nk in the top 25 this week 15 years ago:

While select divas claim not to “know” Jennifer Lopez, the Pop star was not short of celebrity friends last night at the launch of her shoe line.

The media maven has joined forces with Giuseppe Zanotti to design her own range of high-end footwear; a venture which she officially launched last night in Beverly Hills.

On-hand to support J.Lo were Mary J. Blige and Ciara. Also present was the 47-year-old’s ‘I Luh Ya Papi’ collaborator French Montana.

After thrilling fans with star-studded tributes to musical legends Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, and more, the Grammys have announced the next recipient of their all-star honorary treatment will be The Bee Gees.

Titled “Stayin’ Alive: A Grammy Salute to the Music of the Bee Gees,” the live tribute concert will be taped at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on February 14th. But, before you run out to buy your tickets (which went on sale today), tuck in below to see some of the big names set to honor the Australian trio:

In 1955, a group of white men burst into the home of 14-year-old Emmett Till, kidnapped him, tortured, mutilated and shot him and dumped him in the Tallahatchie River.

His “crime”?

Threatening a woman named Carolyn Bryant Donham.

This year, long after his murderers were found Not Guilty and the passing of his mother (above), Donham has something to confess.

“I made it up.”

Just as quickly as he made history on last week’s Hot 100, it appears Ed Sheeran disappeared from the top of the chart.  As we previously reported, Sheeran’s comeback releases – ‘Shape of You’ and ‘Castle on the Hill’ – etched his name in history books as he became the first artist to simultaneously debut two new singles in the top 10 (#1 and #6 respectively).

The reign was short lived, however, as this week Migos – who Sheeran replaced at the chart’s summit last week to accomplish the history-making feat – have regained the position with their viral hit ‘Bad & Boujee.’

See who joins them in the top 25 of this week’s refreshed ‘TGJ Chart Check’:

2017 is certainly not shaping up to be a good year for R&B crooner Robin Thicke.

The Grammy-nominated singer, reportedly still reeling from the death of his father/actor Alan Thicke in late 2016, spent the latter half of his year in a custody battle with ex-wife/actress Paula Patton. Things took an even worse turn in the matter when Patton accused him of drug abuse, infidelity, and spousal and child abuse.

The information above led to a decision handed by a Los Angeles judge yesterday which will see Thicke not only stripped of his parental rights to child custody (temporarily), but also forced to serve a restraining order that will require he stay away from Patton and their son, Julian.

The Material Girl Madonna was certainly a girl gone wild at last week’s worldwide Women’s March designed to protest Donald Trump.

With demonstrations hosted on every continent (yes, including Antarctica), most of the attention was directed to D.C. where a number of celebrities, including the Queen of Pop, assembled to draw attention to their cause.  Some of that attention took a negative turn, however, when Madge took to the mic to encourage Trump to “suck a d–k” and she even threatened to “blow up the White House.”  The statement drew criticism from viewers and even catalyzed rumors that the Secret Service took those threats seriously and was helping launch an investigation against her (read more on that by clicking here).

As the story continued its rounds, Trump – who has gone on record calling female opponents “nasty” and “pigs” – offered an equally fiery clap back against the pop icon.  Taking to Fox News, hear what he said inside:

Fantasia serves up a cinematic family affair in the video for new single ‘When I Met You.’

Directed by Derek Blanks, the visual features the singer’s husband Kendall Taylor and daughter Zion. Cairo, the son of ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ star Sheree Whitfield also appears.

Boasting a nostalgic-to-now theme, the clip sees the American Idol graduate (and her co-stars) flex their acting muscles. And rather well, at that.

Kehlani has officially unlocked her highly-anticipated inaugural album ‘SweetSexySavage.’

The follow-up to last year’s Grammy-nominated ‘You Should Be Here‘ mixtape, ‘SSS‘ features production from G.O.O.D Music‘s Charlie Heat, Pop & Oak, and many more.

Laced with a hearty 19-tracks, Kehlani’s debut borrows grooves from the trademark sounds of the 90’s and early 00’s.

So what’s the end result? A meaty plate of nostalgia fused with freshness.
