keyshia cole-tinashe-first week sales-thatgrapejuice

Two of the year’s most highly anticipated R&B offerings found themselves available on record shelves on the same day.

Indeed, October 7th brought with it the latest releases of R&B fan favorite Keyshia Cole and high octane newcomer Tinashe.  Between them, they left few promotional stones unturned as they popped up everywhere from ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ & ‘The Queen Latifah Show’ to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live‘ and ‘106 & Park.’

But, was it enough?

With Cole reporting the lowest first week numbers of her career and Tinashe’s modest numbers slightly behind that, did each songstress’s additional releases (i.e. songs and/or videos) and promotional appearances act as just the tricks to hoist reported numbers upward?

One week separates the world from Jhene Aiko‘s ‘Souled Out‘, the follow-up to her game changing ‘Sail Out’ EP and an album Def Jam no doubt hopes will see Jhene pull in sales far and wide following Rihanna‘s exit from the label this year.

jennifer-lopez-kimmel

Dynamo diva Jennifer Lopez stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to plug her ever-growing list of endeavours.

Most notable, though, was the morsels of information the star revealed about her upcoming new album.

The set, which is preceded by buzz cut ‘Same Girl’ as well as singles ‘I Luh Ya Papi’ and the newly announced ‘First Love’, arrives on June 17th.

As such, with little over a month to go, attention has turned to what the LP (the singer’s tenth) has been christened.

It turns out, the American Idol judge is still deciding.

During her hilarious interview with Kimmel, the 44-year-old turned to the audience to help her sift through her current top title picks.

Flip the hood to see what J.Lo has in mind and to watch her dish on how her twins inspired her to record Diplo album track ‘Big Booty’.

…and the Elijah Blake promo train has left the station!

After spending the last two years winning over music lovers with many a live show and the streaming magnet that was ‘Bijoux 22‘, Elijah Blake kicks off the campaign for his debut album this week!

His first move? A reworked rendition of John Legend‘s smash hit ‘All of Me‘, placed an arm in arm with a mellow take on his very own ‘Sing For Me’, showcasing the voice undeniably built for Gospel but “harnessed” enough to woo the Pop disciples his music is yet to win over.

Check him out below!

Beyond rapping and acting, Hip-Hop heavyweight Drake can now add funny-man to his list of skills.

The Canadian bred MC, who is currently dating Rihanna, is gearing up to host ESPN’s ESPY Awards this week and took part in a hilarious skit on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to promote the gig.

Dressed in disguise, the 27-year-old posed as a reporter, questioning people on the street about their thoughts on Drake and how they felt he did at the show (which hasn’t actually taken place yet). Needless to say, hilarity ensues.
