Welcome to TGJ’s Retro Rewind, the original feature built to celebrate TV and Film’s game-changing and occasionally hilarious past.

Today, we revisit the long-running series ‘Cheaters’.

Launched in the year 2000, the show came to the aid of lovers who had reason to believe that their partners had been playing away.

Future stunned fans when he announced the surprise release of his fifth album, the self-titled effort ‘Future.’

A feature-less affair, the album not only led a pack of hip hop releases releases for the week, but also outpaced top-sellers from other genres to lay claim on the Billboard 200’s top spot.

Billboard reports:

Future scores his fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as his new self-titled effort starts atop the list, earning 140,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Feb. 23, according to Nielsen Music.

…more than half of its units were powered by streaming activity: 73,000 units (equaling 109 million streams of the album’s songs during the tracking frame). The rest of its units were comprised of traditional album sales (60,000) and track equivalent album units (7,000).

From the way things are shaping up, the hitmaking rapper is set to unseat himself on next week’s Billboard 200 with his follow-up release, ‘HNDRXX.’  Until we find out for sure, tuck in below to see who joins him in this week’s refreshed “Chart Check:  Billboard 200.”

2017’s spring and summer Urban touring circuit is looking to be quite the hot ticket.

After announcements from the likes of crooners The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, and John Legend, we learned of tours from leading rap acts Future and Chance the Rapper.  Now, Lil’ Wayne is getting in on the action.

Announcing the dates for his ‘Kloser 2 U’ tour, the announcement of its stops was immediately followed with a tease that the hitmaker will tour the states with his Young Money cohorts Drake & Nicki Minaj.

“I just got off the phone with Nicki and she told me to tell y’all, ‘Hello,’” he said. “We might have to do something special. We might have to do some Young Money reunion s–t out here this summer. I might have to bring all my friends from America, all my friends from Canada, the whole OVO.”

Until we officially find out what that “reunion” could entail, find out where you can see Wayne by his lonesome inside:

Amidst Remy Ma‘s drama with Nicki Minaj, one could be forgiven for forgetting that the rapstress has a new album out with Terror Squad comrade Fat Joe.

‘Plata O Plomo’ launched to soft sales last week, but that isn’t denting the duo’s determination to make a mark.

Following their sit-down chat with Wendy Williams today, the pair took to the stage to (along with guest Sevyn Streeter) perform a medley of ‘Money Showers,’ ‘Lean Back,’ and their Platinum certified, Grammy nominated hit ‘All The Way Up.’

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’ll fast backward to 1991 to find music’s “vocal trinity” – Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Celine Dion – dominating the chart’s top 5.  Carey, whose third single ‘Someday’ dethroned Houston’s ‘All the Man That I Need’ (one of two #1 singles found aboard the songstress’s ‘I’m Your Baby Tonight’ album), was joined by then-rising powerhouse vocalist Dion and her third single, ‘Where Does My Heart Beat Now.’

Together the trio led a slew of memorable hits, including entries by fellow chart-topping divas Gloria Estefan and Madonna.  See who else joined the quintet in the top 25 this week 26 years ago:
