It appears the sales of Robin Thicke‘s latest album aren’t the only thing that are non-existent. For, sadly, his marriage to actress Paula Patton is too.

The crooner’s partner of over 12 years has officially filed for divorce; a move which comes after the couple announced their separation in February.

‘She‘ chanteuse may have poured her heart and soul into her new album ‘Point of No Return’, but it would seem the general public have decided not throw their hearts and wallets in its support today, now that it’s first week sales prediction has been announced.

Unfortunately, after the critically acclaimed ‘Woman to Woman‘ opened with 96,000 units in 2012, ‘Return’ is set to touch down on the ‘Billboard 200‘ with anywhere between 22 to 25,000 units next week, marking her lowest opening week number to date.

On lower ground, Urban Pop sensation Tinashe isn’t set to fare any better. For despite owning the summer with the smash hit single ‘2 On’, the entertainer proves there’s more work to be done now that her debut LP ‘Aquarius’ is set to sell between 17 to 20,000 copies.

After observing fellow entertainers Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber make a number of desperate (and at times offensive) moves towards “Urban” music, the former Disney star finds his transition from PG-friendly Pop prince to grown’n’sexy Rhythm & Pop newbie welcomed by the very audience Cyrus and Bieber are still yet to win over completely.

After a lengthy break on the bench, ‘TGJ Replay’ is back!

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest retrospective segment – a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.  As this week saw the release of ‘Point of No Return,’ the 6th album of R&B chanteuse Keyshia Cole, we thought it would be the perfect time to reminisce over her catalog and revisit our favorite album of hers –  ‘Just Like You.’

We’ll meet you on the other side:
