Today marks the global release of Britney Spears‘ eighth studio album ‘Britney Jean’.

Given the lofty heights of Spears’ star-power, the arrival of the LP was always going to be a Pop event. That much was a given.

However, for many, the release is marred by the project’s lack of hit single/s (preceding efforts ‘Work B*tch’ and ‘Perfume’ both fared poorly on the charts). What’s more, the once-muted frustration of fans jarred by the singer’s lack of promotional appearances and performances has grown into a loud chorus of disappointment.

And yet still, the LP – as at writing – sits at #1 on iTunes tallies across the globe (including the US and UK).

Ever keen to plough through the smoke, mirrors, and propaganda, That Grape Juice wants to know what YOU think of ‘Britney Jean’! Will you be buying? What helped you reach your decision?

Let us know below…

Cop a gander of Ciara!

The dynamo diva looks all sorts of lush on the latest cover of luxury fashion mag Genlux.

It’s been somewhat a musically mute few months for the singer, who released self-titled album back in July. However, as per this feature, as well high-profile appearances at the American Music Awards and international touring, the newly-engaged singer has certainly not been idle.

That said, an update on her next musical move would not go amiss. ‘Overdose’?

Your thoughts?

Promo shy Pop star Britney Spears finally seems to realize she has a new album in stores and has aptly hit the TV circuit in support of it.

The former stage blazer stopped by The Ellen Show this week to plug the LP, which is preceded by singles ‘Work B*tch’ and ‘Perfume’.

Naturally not performing, the 32-year-old instead sat down to dish on the album as well as her new boyfriend. Any guesses as to which topic she seemed most excited about? Find out after the jump…

Joining Mariah Carey and Tamar Braxton in spreading the spirit of Christmas again today is Ariana Grande, doing so with the spectacular jam that is ‘Snow in California.’

Pulled from her forthcoming ‘Christmas Kisses’ EP, the release sees a lovesick Grande call on Santa to ‘make it rain’ with snow, all in the hopes of keeping her lover by her side for just a little longer.

Does it have what it takes to steal Pop’s Christmas crown from Carey‘s ‘All I Want’?

After making an appearance in his commercial for ‘The Key’ fragrance, Justin Bieber‘s ‘All That Matters’ unlocked the doors to its very own video today- sharing itself with the world via director Colin Tilley.

Unfortunately, despite being one of the vocalist’s strongest releases, the clip’s genius did little to mask the unintentional joke that is his acting.

Acting, that sees him attempt to ‘up his Hip Hop game’ with moves that scream Diet-Drake. Moves, that lack the effortless nature that make the ‘Hold On’ Rapper’s performances so enjoyable to watch.

Praised and renown for asking the questions few dare to pose, Ebro Darden‘s ‘The Hot 97 Morning Show’ celebrated one of its most telling interviews to date recently, when they caught up with the R&B beauty that is Ashanti.

Joined by co-host Laura Stylez, Darden‘s conversation with the singer/actress went a long way to address many a  hot topic surrounding her career.

Think the jailing of her stalker.

Her long running feud with former mentor Irv Gotti.

The intentional ‘mishandling’ of  ‘Murder Inc‘ budgets.

G-Unit.

Still not sure why we’re calling this one a ‘must see’?

Joe Public may be aware of her influence in the US and the UK, but what isn’t as publicised is the popularity enjoyed by Rapper Nicki Minaj in Asia.

That, fortunately for her, is now about to change. For, after booking and subsequently selling out numerous arena dates in the market last year, the performer joins R&B staple Ciara in nabbing a South Korean smash hit with their collaborative cut ‘Livin’ It Up.’
