In a new Instagram post shared to her account, the ‘Make Me’ singer shared that she is the “happiest” she has ever been.

Justin Bieber‘s already racked up 4 top 10 hits in 2020 alone (‘Stuck With U,’ ‘Yummy,’ ‘Intentions,’ and ‘Holy’), but it appears he’s already gearing up for lucky #5.

Just a month after unleashing the music video for the first effort from his forthcoming sixth studio album – his Chance the Rapper-assisted hit, ‘Holy’ (click here to watch) – the 26-year-old has unveiled news his newest release will drop this week.

‘Midnight Sky’ has taken Miley Cyrus from the MTV Video Music Awards to the iHeartRadio Music Festival and beyond in its promotion – a journey that’s helped hoist it to a #1 peak on Worldwide iTunes as well as a Hot 100 height of #14.

To help the Disco/New Wave-tinged tune (the first single from her forthcoming LP ‘She Is Miley Cyrus’) return to its former chart glory, Cyrus continues her promotional onslaught in its support.

Her latest effort sees her team with MTV to reboot its legendary ‘MTV Unplugged’ show.

In celebration of its September 4 release, Christina Aguilera has been hot on the promo trail for Disney’s live action remake of ‘Mulan’ for which she serves as the voice behind two of its soundtrack’s most important numbers:  ‘Loyal Brave True’ and the 2020 remake of her classic, ‘Reflection.’

Taking to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe Thursday (September 17). the GRAMMY winner not only reflected on the impact of the film’s original animated adaptation but also discussed its impact on her career specifically as it helped launch her as one of the most celebrated voices in Pop music history.

While strolling down memory lane, Aguilera dished on that infamous 2003 MTV VMA lip-lock with Britney Spears and Madonna (whom she referred to as ‘the Queen of reinventing herself), her longtime love of Beyonce, and so much more.

Longtime Ciara fans may think her history with Britney Spears is only limited to the Pop icon’s 2009 ‘Circus Tour’ (where Cici served as the opening act), but the new mom-of-three (click here to read more) recently revealed they go back even further.

As we reported here, the 34-year-old is the host of Apple Music’s new ‘Level Up Radio’ – a series designed to examine R&B’s cultural impact and evolution.  When reflecting on her early experiences in the industry, she reported her breakthrough hit, 2004’s ‘Goodies,’ was almost a chart win for her ‘Baby One More Time’-singing label mate.

Though its arrival was rumored for weeks, Britney Spears sent fans into a frenzy Thursday (May 28) when she formally announced that she would release ‘Mood Ring (By Demand),’ to global streaming services – a bonus track from her 2016 album, ‘Glory.’

Previously limited to Japan only, the tune – made widely available to digital and streaming platforms Friday (May 29) – was met with thunderous ovation from the singer’s dedicated fan base (affectionately called the #BritneyArmy).

Holding tight to even the slightest hint of “new music,” the song has already topped iTunes USA merely hours after its release – ousting previous frontrunner, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande‘s ‘Rain On Me,’ in the process.

In early March (as we reported here), Britney Spears‘ teenage son, Jayden Federline, rocked headlines when he said his mom “may quit music forever.”

Detailing her ongoing legal battle/conservatorship woes with her father, Federline’s comments sparked worry among the Pop icon’s dedicated fans (affectionately called #BritneyArmy) – a fret only aided by Britney who, though active on social media, has not ever directly denied the claims.

Her actress sister, Jamie Lynn, however is doing so in her stead.  Recently taking to our friends at ‘The Hollywood Reporter,’ the youngest Spears confirmed Brit wasn’t hard at work on any new music but also assured supporters the GRAMMY winner isn’t hanging up her dancing heels quite yet.

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ segments, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s retrospective segment – a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of Pop and Urban Pop music hits.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of her sophomore album, ‘Oops!…I Did It Again,’ we’re saluting Pop icon Britney Spears again.

When Rihanna debuted in 2005, she joined Chris Brown, Teairra Mari and Ciara at the front of a teenage class developed to dominate the decade as Destiny’s Child, Usher, Aaliyah and Britney Spears had done before them.

Since then, she has risen to become one of Pop culture’s brightest figures….soaring to epic heights on the wings of genre-blending albums, breathtaking visuals and game changing brand partnerships.

Only right then, after almost two decades at the top, that the performer should take a well-deserved break.

Alas, her fans feel differently and have taken to social media to demand new music from the ‘Music of the Sun’ singer.

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!
