Justin Timberlake has been hard at work on new music and the result of those sessions left the Pop star with plentiful material.

As reported, JT’s first album in six years – ‘Everything I Thought It Was’ – arrives on March 15 and is preceded by single ‘Selflish.’

Ahead of settling on the final incarnation of the LP and its lead offering, the 42-year-old has revealed in a new interview with Apple Music‘s Zane Lowe that he “ended up with 100 songs” by the end of his recording process.

Elsewhere during the candid chat, the performer opened up about what folk can expect from the album, performing on Saturday Night Live, and more.

The interview comes amidst a firestorm of activity from fans of Timberlake’s ex, Britney Spears. Indeed, as reported, the “Britney Army” is mounting quite the offensive by running up sales of her song ‘Selfish’ to block sales of his like-titled offering.

While that “war” wages on, watch JT’s full sit-down on Apple Music below…

Welcome to the latest TGJ Roundtable!

Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!

Though comprised of seasoned writers who share a similar outlook on Urban Pop culture, the idiosyncrasies of the TGJ team members often lend for quite heated debates “behind the scenes” about the hottest topics.

Now, we give you a front row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ or ‘The Real’, TGJ editors – Sam, David, Rashad, and Joe – get real in a very candid way.

Today’s roundtable topic is the…

 2016 MTV VMAs Review

(more…)

As if the summer isn’t already hot enough, July has simply been brimming and blazing with highly anticipated releases from some of pop’s heaviest hitting female artists.

Just last night alone pop princess Britney Spears and Katy Perry dropped their long-awaited new releases.  For fans of Spears, the new song, ‘Make Me,‘ came after a year-long await and followed the failed, Iggy Azalea-assisted ‘Pretty Girls.’  For #KatyCats, the tune, ‘Rise,’ follows releases found from her 2013 chart-topping set ‘Prism.’

Spears may have shot to #1 on iTunes quicker than her competitor, but Perry’s fanbase is already ‘roaring’ loud and clear as they (as of time reporting) have hoisted their leader to the digital tally’s top spot.

Yet, while the two pop princesses are getting the most buzz around their respective releases, fans of Tinashe are still moving and grooving to her Dream-produced cut ‘Superlove.‘  The song, also released last night, is getting a thumbs up from some of the same critics who can’t keep their fingers off the ‘play’ button to bump July’s other hot releases – Fergie‘s ‘M.I.L.F. $’ and Zayn‘s ‘Cruel.’

Now, with all heat coming to us at once, we must ask you – That Grape Juice faithful – who is your fave of the pack?

‘Sail On‘ chanteuse Beyonce has done it again!

Yes, after giving former manager Mathew Knowles the boot in 2011, the entertainer has seen her brand reach exciting new heights in the years following, using her star power to secure deals that have no doubt made her the envy of a rival Pop superstar.

So, spare a thought for said superstars today as they learn that they’ve been outperformed by ‘Yonce once again.

Who, what, where and why?

All will be revealed below…

Naysayers may have doubted initially, but now it seems pop princess Britney Spears’ newest song ‘Work B*tch’ is doing just that – working.

Indeed, the song nearly slipped out of the top 50 a week after its debut on Itunes, but weeks later, after a smoking hot video to aid, the dance number appears to have re-entered the race – giving a run to chart champions Lorde, Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry (who have collectively dominated the Hot 100 all summer long).

Their efforts appear to be extending into the fall as well, but will their catchy tunes be enough to keep Britney at bay?  This week’s chart check awaits…

“Wrecking Ball” beauty Miley Cyrus has had quite the headline-grabbing week.
