miguel-thatgrapejuice-club-fight

Some may have wondered how many drinks Grammy-winning singer Miguel had recently when he was spotted turning all the way up in the club, so much so he nearly came to blows with its owner.

Word has it Miggy was on hand to make a special appearance only, but the club owner says the ‘Coffee’ crooner had agreed to sing a hit or two.  The misunderstanding over those hits almost led to some other hits when, as seen in the video below, words exchanged were only seconds away from becoming fists exchanged.

See the drama unfold below:

Smash hit series ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ is back for a titillating third season.

birth-of-nation-thatgrapejuice-nate-parker

Earlier this year the critically acclaimed ‘Birth of a Nation,’ directed by and starring Nate Parker, was easily 2016’s most highly anticipated film.

However, this – the weekend of the film’s premiere – sees a whirlwind of bad press around him stemming from 17-year old rape allegations in conjunction with an actual whirlwind (see: Hurricane Matthew) keep moviegoers home from supporting the historical drama that tells the story of slave Nat Turner and his heroic revolt against the oppressive system.

Parker may have left the legal courts unscathed from the drama in his personal life, but it appears professionally he’s been guilty in the court of public opinion:

john-legend-top-10-itunes-thatgrapejuice-bruno-mars

Coming to the surprise of no one, Bruno Mars’ new single, ’24K Magic,’ has already sprung its magic on music lovers – a feat evidenced by his current tenure at the top of the iTunes USA charts (as of time reporting).

The retro/funk-inspired tune, which premiered last night, has been praised for being a sonic older sister to his signature hit ‘Uptown Funk.’  And, with a similarly funky Vegas-shot video – directed by Mars himself – we expect to see ‘Magic’ mirror the 2014 megahit’s success on the Billboard Hot 100.

But, as the ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’ star gets settled on the iTunes throne, he’s joined in the top 10 by John Legend and Lady Gaga – both of whom released singles this week.  Curious to see where they landed?

Fantasia is hitting the road!

The Soul-filled songbird is gearing up to bring her unique brand of “Rock Soul” to US cities this Fall as she embarks on ‘The Definition Of Tour.’

Set to kick off in Macon, Georgia, initial dates for the trek – which’ll feature guests Guordan Banks and La’Porsha Renae – have been unveiled.

The nation-wide jaunt is being mounted in support of the American Idol graduate’s fifth album ‘The Definition Of,’ which arrived at retail this July.

Upon its release, the LP debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200 with sales of 32,000. However, it dropped to #66 the week after.

Still the stage has always been Fantasia’s most potent playground, so regardless of the charts, there’s no doubt she’ll put on a show-stopping show. Her live gravitas is rivalled by next to no one in her  no other.

Peep the dates below…

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’ll take it back to ‘Sexy Back’ – the inaugural chart-topper from former NSYNC leader Justin Timberlake.  The singer/songwriter – whose 2002 debut album, ‘Justified,’ established him as an internationally recognized solo act – braved the sophomore slump in 2006 with his second album ‘FutureSex/LoveSounds.’  The first taste of his “futuristic” offerings?  ‘SexyBack.’
Produced by Timbaland, the synth-heavy, funk-inspired tune was released in summer 2006 and skyrocketed to the top spot in its third week (where it remained for a total of 7 weeks).  Found atop the tally this week ten years ago, tuck in below to see who accompanied Timberlake in the top 25 in this week’s #FBF Chart Rewind:
