Trina-That-Grape-Juice-10

Before the sun sets on the first season of ‘Love & Hip Hop Hollywood’, ‘No Panties’ performer Trina has revealed that VH1 approached her to star in the Miami arm of its parent series ‘Love & Hip Hop.

However, the network didn’t get its wish, rejected by the rapper after she saw how editing and feud-fuelling contracts on its other Reality shows had ruined the images of their cast members.

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 and acts like a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.

Now, as a fan of the gems lent to R&B by its blue eyed soul artisans, we’ll use this opportunity to spotlight George Michael‘s ‘Faith’ (which celebrated its 27th birthday just last month)!  Get into it below:

America’s country pop darling Taylor Swift is swiftly moving her latest title, ‘Blank Space,’ to the top space on the Billboard Hot 100.

As ‘All About that Bass’ beauty Meghan Trainor holds onto the #2 spot for dear life, is there a chance Taylor will leap frog over the newcomer to shake up next week’s Hot 100 report?

Time will tell.  Until then, recap this week’s top 10 below:
