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 Louis Tomlinson, Kim Petras, Ava Max, and Deaf Havana.

The news only helped to drum up even more buzz for the 8-song set, which comes as one of the season’s most highly anticipated offerings from a newcomer.

In addition to the Cardi B-assisted ‘Tomorrow 2,’ ‘Anyways’ only features guest appearances from NikiPooh and HitKidd on the viral hit, ‘FNF (Let’s Go).’

Jordin Sparks may have seen her impressive run on the current season of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ end with an unexpected elimination October 31, but the diva is hoping to dance her way back onto music charts as consolation.

Announced just a day after her axing from ‘Stars,’ the new song – titled ‘Stop the Feeling’ – is a dancefloor-ready, Michael Jackson-reminiscent groove that suggests the diva was really inspired by her time on the dance competition.

“I can’t stop this feelin’ / If it’s even for a minute / I’m tryna be tame / Oh-oh / Please don’t stop this feelin’ / If it’s even for a minute / Boy, won’t be the same,” she wails on the Keith Harris-produced cut.

After ample teasing on Instagram and TikTok, you can finally hear ‘Stop’ in full inside.

‘Dark Horse’ hitmaker Katy Perry wasn’t the only diva who saddled up to conquer the Country charts recently.

“Turn that bass up, shawty, show ’em how | Y’all, we raise up and, y’all, we goin’ down, down, baby | Yo’ street in my Bronco | I’m a talk to ya real slow | Said where the crawdads crawl | Said living that y’all life, y’all,” the dynamic duo sang at the show.

And while Cici made the genre-bending performance look easy, behind the scenes footage proves a lot of hard work went into bringing it to life.
