Readers of That Grape Juice know how passionate we are about music – whether that be past or present.

However, unlike our other segments – Retro Rewind, TGJ Replay, and From The Vault – The Pop Stop is the most in-depth look at Pop songs that may have flown under the radar over the last week that you should know, rather they be from music’s biggest stars or those on the rise.

This week, we want to highlight cuts from Blink-182, Noah Kahan, Omar Apollo, and Joel Corry.

Join us inside…

It’s finally here.

After ample teasing and multiple delays, Friday (October 6) brings with it the long-awaited arrival of Drake‘s new album ‘For All the Dogs.’

The 23-track effort – kicked off by the megahits ‘Search & Rescue‘ and the  SZA-assisted ‘Slime U Out‘ – is out on digital music download and streaming services and marks his first solo effort since topping the Billboard 200 with 2022’s ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ – the predecessor to his blockbuster duet album with 21 Savage, ‘Her Loss.’

To amplify the already intense buzz around ‘Dogs,’ Drizzy gifted ‘8AM in Charlotte,’ a new cut from the LP,  the music video treatment.

“You n-ggas obsessed with me, and it’s not on no-hetero vibe / Handle beef so quiet, you think that I’m letting it slide / Next thing you know, we tip-toeing past enemy lines / Diss me so long ago, we making your memories fly,” he spits on the sizzling track.

Before a recently leaked sex tape showed Sexyy Red with no panties literally (reportedly without her consent), the controversial rapper made headlines for dropping the new song ‘No Panties‘ – her contribution to the official soundtrack of the ‘Rap Sh!t S2: The Mixtape.’

Also boasting appearances from Kali, Rico Nasty, and others, ‘Panties’ sees Red double down on the signature flow and content style found aboard her breakout hits ‘Pound Town‘ and ‘SkeeYee.’

“I ain’t got no panties on, gotta let this coochie breathe / Bend that shit over, touch them toes, grab your knees (Baow) / Let that n-gga know just to see it, it’s a fee, got him spendin’ all his cheese,” she raps on the racy track.

Ahead of the November 3 drop of the ‘Mixtape,’ Red’s unveiled the accompanying music video for ‘Panties.’ See the Des Gray-directed action inside.

The sky is definitely the limit for famed singer-songwriter-producer Dylan and the Moon, and the reiteration of that comes courtesy of his latest single ‘Lemons.’

“My life ain’t perfect but I can’t complain / life gave me lemons I made lemonade,” he wails on the sizzling track.

Tagging Pop superstar Jason Derulo to assist, the new tune comes as the latest in a string of releases for the Haitian hitmaker including ‘Glad U Came,’ ‘When Love Sucks,’ ‘Slow Low,’ Body Count,’ and more over just the last few months (as we reported here).

Having already sailed to top 20 status on the music charts of her native South Africa as well as The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, New Zealand, and elsewhere, rising songstress Tyla is looking to make a similar splash on American shores with her breakout hit ‘Water.’

Buoyed by buzz afforded by a viral Tik Tok challenge, ‘Water’ has already cruised to the top of many-a-Spotify and Apple Music playlist.

To aid its voyage to the yet-conquered Billboard Hot 100, the 21-year-old has finally lifted the lid on the cut’s official music video.

Leave it to Cher, a GRAMMY, EMMY, and OSCAR-winning Pop icon whose career spans 7 decades, to still find uncharted territory to conquer.

Not even a month after surprising fans with news she was unwrapping her first holiday album, simply titled ‘Christmas,’ she’s already taken the bow off of its first single – ‘DJ Play a Christmas Song.’

“DJ, play a Christmas song / I wanna be dancing all night long / It’s cold outside, but it’s warm in here / And that’s the only thing I want this year,” she croons on the Mark Taylor-produced cut.

Unveiled Friday (October 6), the yuletide dance track was preceded with news of its parent album’s full tracklist (which features heavy hitters like Stevie Wonder, Michael Buble, Tyga, Cyndi Lauper, and more).

Having already lent her talents to Offset‘s sophomore solo album, ‘Set It Off,’ as a guest star on the track ‘Fine As Can Be,’ GRAMMY-nominated rapstress Latto (born Alyssa Stephens) has connected with another Migos star – Quavo – to assist on the remix to Janelle Monae‘s ‘Champagne Sh*t.’

Originally found aboard the latter’s critically acclaimed 2023 album ‘Age of Pleasure,’ the track sees the hitmaking trio trade verses about enjoying the finer things in life.

“On my champagne sh-t / How you get the lamb, b-tch, it’s all in the lips / All in the hips / Whole lotta bad b-tches, all in the vill / Pack a bag on a n-gga ‘fore I trip / B-tches want smoke better pass me a tip,” Stephens spits on the Nate ‘Rocket’ Wonder-produced cut.

Drake isn’t the only star rapper who has something for all the dogs.

Fellow GRAMMY winner Megan Thee Stallion celebrates the October 6 release of ‘Dicks: the Musical’ – her first leading role in a feature film – by lifting a tune from its soundtrack titled ‘Out Alpha the Alpha.’

“They say, “Boys will be boys,” man, what a crock of shit / These men, they hold all the cards, it makes me wanna spit / They always fuckin’ shit up, they’re always makin’ a mess / But I’ma tell you the secret to my success,” she raps on the Marius de Vries-produced cut.

Her first new single as lead artist this year, ‘Alpha’ follows the top 20 hit ‘Bongos‘ she shared with former ‘WAP‘ collaborator Cardi B.

Sexyy Red may be a new name on the scene, but she’s already no stranger to magnetizing headlines.

And while her unbridled brand of Rap on songs such ‘Pound Town’ has largely been at the center of the discourse, this week saw a different side of the rising star on display.

Quite literally, at that.

Because a sex tape of the femcee leaked onto the internet. And it arrived on the back of a ringing endorsement of former US President, Donald Trump.

Now, the rapper has addressed the drama.
