Pharrell Williams’ stellar contributions to Pop music seem to be unappreciated by fans of the Pop superstar Ariana Grande who are now begging her to cut creative ties with him.

She may be the hardest working woman in show biz, but for now ‘Jenny From the Block’ can bid adieu to at least one task that’s blocked off her calendar for the last few years:  the ‘All I Have’ Vegas residency.

Closing out the show last weekend after a nearly 3-year run, the Zappos Theater stint not only set a critical and showmanship standard for the Vegas Strip (already renown for courting some of music entertainment’s biggest stars), but now reports are indicating it’s set the standard for box office draws as well.

Snatching the title from fellow Vegas queen Britney Spears, find out just how much J.Lo’s overall Vegas showing earned:

Beyonce‘s decision to step away from ‘A Star is Born‘s latest remake served as good news for her sister in song Lady GaGa who stepped in to fill the vacant role.

Unfortunately, this move has intensified the ongoing feud between their respective fan bases which has now reached new lows following the publication of tweets which compared the African-American Beyonce to monkeys.

A sorry sight 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.

In honor of her 32nd birthday (March 28), this week we’ll call on Lady Gaga‘s 2010 megahit ‘Telephone.’ Originally penned for and later passed on by Britney Spears, Gaga eventually took the reins on the Darkchild-produced tune and consulted industry gal pal/‘Video Phone’ co-star Beyonce to support.  The result?  Absolute slayage.

With a fierce short music film to assist, the song debuted in the top 30 in early December 2009.  By March 2010, it was already in the top 10 (where it peaked at #3 this week that year).  Becoming Gaga’s sixth consecutive top 10 hit and Beyonce’s 14th as a solo artist, the tune would go on to nab a Grammy nod and sell an impressive 3.5 million copies in the United States alone.

Britney Spears and Lady Gaga won’t be the only blonde bombshells heating up the already sizzling Las Vegas strip (if newly surfaced reports are to be believed)!

Almost a year to the date Gwen Stefani revealed she was hard at work on the follow-up to 2016’s chart-topping ‘This Is What the Truth Feels Like’ (click here to read more on that), news has it the 48-year-old will be showing off her array of hits as Vegas’ newest showgirl.

Pop the top for deets:

Justin Timberlake may not be rustling up the charts with his new music, but he’s certainly rustling feathers.

While promoting new album ‘Man Of The Woods’ on Beats 1 radio, he made a comment about Las Vegas residencies that probably won’t resonate well with fans of former flame Britney Spears.

This week we’ll shake things up with ‘Milkshake,’ the first single from Grammy-nominated Urban alternative artist Kelis‘ tertiary album, ‘Tasty.’  Written and produced by The Neptunes (Chad Hugo, Pharrell Williams), the tune was originally pitched to pop superstar Britney Spears but was passed on by her team in favor of other cuts that lined the ‘In the Zone’ album (click here to read our ode to that project). Landing right in the lap of singer/songwriter Kelis – who was still reeling from the commercial failure of her sophomore set, ‘Wanderland’ – her recording of ‘Milkshake’ looked to be just what the doctor ordered for her career.  Going on to become her signature song for its tongue-in-cheek lyrics and delectable instrumentation, late 2003 saw the tune quickly make its way up the Hot 100 ladder and eventually peaking at #3 this week that year.

To date ‘Milkshake’ remains her best-selling single and only release to reach the top 10 on the tally (let alone the top 5).  Join us as we travel back 14 years ago to a time when Kelis brought all the boys to the yard with this infectious bop:

Welcome back to TGJ Replay!

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest reflective segment to act as a written quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday. Unlike its TGJ retrospective predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.

In honor of its 15th birthday (October 26), this week we’ll press play on Christina Aguilera‘s magnum opus:  ‘Stripped’…
