With nearly two months of pure chart domination to her credit it appears at this point Adele‘s only competition is herself.  And, as recent reports suggest, she’s even winning there too!

Indeed, by saying hello to her 9th week atop the Billboard Hot 100 she’s also notched a new career milestone.  Besting her previous longest run, ‘Rolling in the Deep,’ by two weeks, Addy was also greeted with news ‘Hello’ boasts one of the longest consecutive reigns ever on the Hot 100’s summit by a song that debuted there.

According to Billboard, only 3 songs separate her from the top spot on that historic tally:

16 weeks, “One Sweet Day,” Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men, 1995-96
14 weeks, “Candle in the Wind” / “Something About the Way You Look Tonight,” Elton John, 1997-98
11 weeks, “I’ll Be Missing You,” Puff Daddy & Faith Evans feat. 112, 1997
9 weeks, “Hello,” Adele, 2015

This means, with her 9 weeks in tow, she already vaunts claim to the longest consecutive run at the top by a #1-debuting song by a solo female. But, only time will tell if she’ll snatch the overall title from Billboard queen, Mariah Carey‘s, legendary hands.

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 throw our hands up for the independent women of Destiny’s Child and their history-making hit found aboard the Cameron Diaz-led ‘Charlie’s Angels’ official soundtrack.  Debuting at #1 in fall 2000, ‘Women’ lent the ladies of DC3 their third and longest running chart-topper on the Hot 100.  Amassing an impressive 11 week run, the song currently stands in history books as the longest running #1 single by a female group.

Strut down memory lane with us and tuck in below to see what other familiar faces you see in the top 20 this week 15 years ago:

Fortunately, or unfortunately for fans of Katy Perry, the lyricist now finds herself on a promotional run where she is often quizzed on her experiences with the artists who seek her when crafting new albums.

Why this unfortunate for fans of the ‘Teenage Dreamer’?
