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.

It all awaits below:

It was but a few days ago that Kandi Burruss and producer husband Todd Tucker hit the radio trail in support of the tour version of their play ‘A Mother’s Love’.

However, while buzz for the US trek was healthy, it appears the back-end business side of things was anything but.

For, after just four shows, the 30-date jaunt has been abruptly cancelled.

Details on the drama, which we’re sure will play out on The Real Housewives Of Atlanta, below…

Does it pose much of a threat to the tally’s top placeholders?  See Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 below:

The parallels between the narratives of Gwen Stefani and Fergie are uncanny.

Both ladies stem from groups. Both ladies broke out solo with sounds that fused Pop and Urban. And both ladies were incredibly successful during the mid 00’s.

Excited? If so, you won’t have to wait long to hear what the Pop forces have been cooking up.
