In the September of 2013 Pop princess Ariana Grande planted a kiss on the Billboard 200’s #1 spot with her debut LP ‘Yours Truly.’

This year, just over 12 months after ‘Truly’s August 30th 2013 unveiling, the singer has celebrated the arrival of her second #1 album, ‘My Everything.’

How she celebrated the news?

Streams may have helped it soar to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, but it’s become pretty clear that Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Anaconda’ stands tall thanks to sales generated by her fans and the general public alike.

For this week, in what marks one of the rapper’s best charting periods since her debut, the single has moved almost 200,000 units!

‘Crazy’ singer Cee Lo Green has certainly had fans questioning how much he lives up to the title as recent headlines have been flooded by news of his controversial rape comments.  As readers know, Green pleaded ‘no contest’ last week to a felony charge that he provided ecstasy to a woman in 2012.

Criticism from social media users led the Goodie Mob hitmaker to go on a damning Twitter rant of sorts that included the now infamous tweet:

The backlash was so massive it led Green to delete his Twitter account temporarily.  Now reinstated and accompanied by an apology, the move appears to have proven itself too little too late as reports have it that TBS has axed the singer’s reality show. See the apology below and tell us:

Are people being too harsh to CeeLo?

With summer in full swing, so too is festival season! And, while a multitude events clam up the calendar, the Fusion Festival has quickly established itself as the spectacle oozing the most “must-see” value.

With good reason, too.

Since launching, many a major name have rocked the two-day extravaganza – which was exactly that this year. For, major names such as Jessie J and Pitbull were tapped to play to event which took place August 30^th – 31^st in Birmingham, England.

 To celebrate the festival’s return, That Grape Juice journeyed to to the English city to soak up the festivities and jam to new and established talent (Ella Henderson is vocally everything!). We also teamed up with Bose UK, whose new Yozilla headphones are easily the best we’ve used yet, to help pick the winner for their exciting Bose Selfie Competition.

As anyone who follows TGJ on Twiiter, Instagram, and Facebook will note, the contest simply asked that entrants submit a fierce selfie of themselves to be in with a chance of nabbing the Yozilla headphones that we can’t get enough of.

Of the thousands of entrants, many were TGJ readers and we had a blast sifting through all the “super turnt up” snaps – a fact which made whittling down the entries to a list of seven winners dizzingly difficult.

Alas, with help from other notable tastemakers, the winners were picked. Peep the pic below…

All in all, a great weekend of great music!

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.

How Aiko raises her chances of doing so? By releasing a stream of the album on iTunes, allowing the world to play before they pay before September 9th sees her rock ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’!

Hit ‘The Pressure’ below to give it a spin?

One week after its arrival, Ariana Grande‘s ‘My Everything‘ has topped the Billboard 200, now standing as the US’ highest selling album of the week.

However, with multiple smash hits to her name this year, there’s no doubt the number of units it moved will part opinion today, with some set to congratulate her for outperforming her debut LP ‘Yours Truly’, while others may find the digits a little unimpressive for an act as widely celebrated as she is.

What she did?

Chart topping tunes weren’t the only hits being delivered at this weekend’s KBLX ‘Hot Summer Night’ concert in San Francisco.

Reports have it that R&B singer Sisqo unleashed the dragon in a whole new way as he was videotaped getting into quite the backstage brawl with Kyle “Quick” Norman of Jagged Edge at the Fog City’s Concord Pavilion.  While their groups were on the bill for the town’s highly anticipated Urban showing, it looks like the most memorable headline from the event didn’t occur on stage.
