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 Aespa, Big Time Rush, Kimberly Perry, and Blusher .

Latto may not have struck the Billboard gold her fans were expecting with her latest single, ‘Lottery,’ but that hasn’t stopped the GRAMMY nominee from rolling the dice on its follow-up ‘Put It On Da Floor.’

Given an unofficial premiere at Coachella last month, the tune’s recorded version dropped shortly and garnered quite the polarizing buzz when some of its lyrics were perceived as disses to fellow rapstress Coi Leray.

“Sh-t around my neck, it cost a arm and leg,” she rapped before adding later, “Smoking on that gas, blunt big as Coi Leray / B-tches like to run their mouths but I’m the type to run the fade.”

With that short-lived drama behind her, Big Latto moved forward with the unveiling of the Go Grizzly-produced cut’s official music video.

Much like fellow powerhouse divas Mariah Carey, Sade, Anita Baker, Celine Dion, Patti LaBelle, and Dionne Warwick, Queen of Funk Chaka Khan is used to being royally snubbed by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame despite being one of the most influential female artists of her genre.

Having burst onto the scene in the early 70’s as part of the Funk group Rufus, Khan’s five-decade career boasts 10 GRAMMY wins, over 70 million records sold, and several R&B classics to her name like ‘Sweet Thing,’ ‘Through the Fire,’ ‘I Feel For You,’ and more.

Nevertheless, inclusion in the coveted Rock Hall has been elusive for the diva since she first became eligible as part of Rufus in the late 90s and later in the early 2000s as a solo act.

7 nominations later (four in the group and three solo), the institution has finally granted the ‘Tell Me Something Good’ singer some good news thanks to the announcement of its 2023 class. Details inside.

Just week after Lola Brooke learned her Tik Tok-fueled hit, ‘Don’t Play With It,’ had become her inaugural Hot 100 entry, the rising rapstress is taking no time to relax on her laurels.  To keep the momentum going, she’s unleashed a new single: ‘Just Relax.’

Arrived on the wings of an accompanying music video directed by Shanghaii, the hard-hitting clip shows the Brooklyn beauty talking her sh-t like she does best.

“You know I’m back at it, I’m looking back at it / Going crazy in Chanelly, that’s a bad habit,” raps Lola. “Just know I’m picky, n-ggas never in my tax bracket / Getting busy with these hands, I’ll let a b-tch have it.”

Not long after the visual’s premiere, Brooke hit the performance circuit to deliver a live rendition of ‘Relax.’ Hop inside to see all the action.
