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.

Apple Music, iTunes, and Spotify are just a few digital music platforms that have seen their real-time tallies topped by ‘GOOBA’ – the latest single from Tekashi 6ix9ine.

As we previously reported, the rapper stunned fans with the surprise announcement of the May 8th release of the tune’s music video – an event met with an historic view count for YouTube (click here to read more).

Now, not even a week after the CanonF8-directed clip’s unveiling, YouTube has confirmed 6ix9ine’s entered their history books for yet another achievement thanks to ‘GOOBA.’

Tekashi 6ix9ine supporters apparently couldn’t wait to get their eyes and ears on new material from the rapper after his surprising early release from prison.

As we reported here, the 24-year-old stunned his fans last Thursday (May 7) with the announcement he would be dropping a new single.  The high octane tune, title ‘GOOBA,’ followed the next day alongside its CanonF8 and David Wept-directed music video.

Hours after the clip’s premiere, 6ix9ine took to Instagram to trumpet its arrival – breaking Instagram viewership records along the way (as we reported here).  Now, he’s seeing his name penned in another set digital history books for his return.

Megan Thee Stallion fans rejoiced when the femcee tapped fellow Houston hitmaker Beyoncé to feature on her megahit, ‘Savage.’

Despite blasting to the top of iTunes and Apple Music tallies mere hours after its release, however, the J. White Did It-produced cut wasn’t exactly a shoo-in for #1 on next week’s Billboard Hot 100 as stiff competition came in the form of another diva duet – Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Say So.’

Mid-week predictions may have suggested Stallion and Queen Bey had the win in the bag given their domination of streaming outlets (as we reported here), but updated figures suggest ‘Say’ still has a chance to top the Hot 100 due to an oft-overlooked component of data calculated to determine chart placements:  radio.

Full story, including the tea he spilled, below…

“Slow and steady wins the race” – an adage affirmed by the enduring commercial performance of Camila Cabello‘s sophomore album, ‘Romance.’

While not exactly on the receiving end of the out-of-the-box success of its self-titled forerunner, the project – which bowed at #3 upon its debut – has maintained some level of buoyancy on Billboard charts thanks to streams and the radio airplay of its latest single, ‘My Oh My’ (featuring DaBaby).

Much like that tune took over 3 months to crack the top 20 (as we reported here), its parent album has taken the scenic route to Platinum certification.  Nevertheless, it got there this week.

While the current global health crisis has seen most shows halt production, the 2020 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards proceeded – albeit virtually.

The annual extravaganza lives up to its billing in that it hands voting to youngsters, who make their voice heard in categories spanning music, television, and film.

Of the evening’s big winners, Beyonce was one of the most notable – taking home an award for her role in billion grossing box office blockbuster ‘The Lion King.’

Check out the full list of winners below…

Brandy‘s back!

Seven long years have separated fans of the R&B veteran from her last album, ‘Two Eleven,’ but their patience has been rewarded with the launch of her latest single, ‘Baby Mama.’ 

The Hit-Boy-produced bop, which boasts fellow GRAMMY winner Chance the Rapper as its co-star, has already lit up R&B sales and streaming tallies merely hours after its premiere on May 1.  Fitting fanfare for the R&B siren who recently told That Grape Juice the jam is just one of many housed on her yet-titled seventh studio album, due later this year.

Dishing exclusively on the project and its producers, the long-teased ‘Moesha’ reboot, and her reported biopic, look inside to see what B-Rocka said on these topics and more:
