Pop maestro Jason Derulo is one of the few names almost guaranteed a smash with each new project.

Indeed, most of his singles enjoy an omnipresence on mainstream radio that his contemporaries could only dream of.

And yet the ‘Want To Want Me’ singer is gearing up to break-away from his tried and tested formula. He’s baking a new a “experimental” mixtape.

Readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.

So, just as our retrospective features ‘From the Vault’ and ‘TGJ Replay’  allow us the chance to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday of one artist, our newest feature Chart Rewind – a variation of our current Retro Rewind assay – accedes salutes to an entire era of music history.

This time we press play on Mary J. Blige‘s party-starter ‘Family Affair,’ which shot to the top of the charts this week in 2001.  Coming as the R&B royal’s first reign atop the chart nearly 10 years after she burst on the scene with her debut album ‘What’s the 411?,’ the Dr.Dre produced cut ousted Jennifer Lopez‘s ‘I’m Real’ right off the Hot 100 throne.

Enjoying a six week run at #1, the tune came as MJB’s first and last chart-topper on the tally.  But, with a catalogue as impressive as hers, we’re sure she’s not too mad about it.  Get into the “crunk” number and the other 24 tracks that occupied the top 25 of the Billboard Hot 100 this week in 2001:

21.

Of course, that’s the name of Adele‘s blockbuster second album. But it’s also the number of days until the singer unleashes its follow-up ’25.’

Already breaking records left and right, the ‘Hello’ led set is being earmarked for an earth-shattering debut by industry insiders.

Anticipation for Justin Bieber‘s new album continues to build as fans are just two weeks away from getting their hands and ears on Canadian crooner’s latest effort.

Titled ‘Purpose,’ the project – preceded by singles ‘Sorry,’ ‘Where Are U Now,’ and the #1 hit ‘What Do You Mean’ – is set for a November 13th release and already expected to make a grand premiere on the Billboard 200 upon its arrival.

But, before fans are able to make that prediction a reality, Bieber took to Instagram to offer his beloved Beliebers a slow reveal of the 19-track affair chock full of guest appearances from the likes of Ariana Grande, Big Sean, Kanye West, and so many more.

Even with a bevy of Vine reinterpretations of its interesting music video, Drake‘s ‘Hotline Bling’ wasn’t hot enough to dethrone The Weeknd‘s reign at #1 as it has now clocked a 6th week atop the tally.

Indeed, fans of the Young Money rapper were sure ‘Bling’s accompanying visual would be just what the doctor ordered to land his very first #1 on the Hot 100.  However, as it was released to Apple Music (which does not report its numbers to Nielsen), the streaming figures did not offer the much needed assistance to make his career-long dream a reality.

As such, contrary to analyst predictions, the Weeknd clings to the tenancy of the top spot once again.  Well, that is, until next week when Adele‘s ‘Hello’ comes sweeping through with its official figures…

“Unreal.”

That’s how birthday girl Ciara described her surprise celebration this weekend.

The stage blazer turned 30 on Sunday and footballer boyfriend Russell Wilson threw her a fun-filled bash on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles to mark the momentous occasion. Together, the pair – who have been together since early this year – repped as Catwoman and Batman.

They even arrived in a real-life “Batmobile.”

Attended by a host of major names such as Beyonce and Kelly Rowland, the party saw Ciara surrounded by her nearest and dearest – including her father and mother, Carlton and Jackie Harris (pictured with her above).

Overwhelmed, Ci gushed on Instagram and said to Wilson:

“You Make Me Smile..#TheBestSurpriseBirthdayPartyEver

Babe @DangeRussWilson Way 2 Pull This Off! I’m Still In Shock. You Are My Batman ❤️”

Sweet. Peep more pics below…
