Much like fellow chart-topper Rihanna, the last year has seen Justin Bieber‘s name and the phrase “breaks (or sets) the record for…” in print seemingly every other week.

In addition to being the youngest person to ever debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, breaking the record for most Hot 100 entries in a single week, and only God knows what else, now Bieber can lay claim to yet another title in history books thanks to his Beliebers.

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

So, 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 week we jet back to 2011 to recount the then-history making reign of ‘Born This Way’ – the leading single from Lady Gaga‘s highly anticipated sophomore album of the same name. Giving the singer her third chart-topper on the Hot 100, ‘Born’ debuted at #1 with a whopping 448,000 sold its first week.  Temporarily giving Gaga claim to the ‘best-selling first week of any single by a female’ title (later broken by Taylor Swift), the tune would go on to dominate the Hot 100 for an impressive 6 weeks from late February to mid-April 2011.

Despite spurring much chatter with its controversial video and later inciting a feud with Queen of Pop Madonna for claims of ‘copying’ and being ‘reductive’ in nature, ‘Born This Way’ remains a fan favorite of Gaga and one of her most successful releases to date.  According to Billboard, the song sold over 4 million copies to date in the U.S. alone.

Tuck in below to relive the magic of ‘BTW’ and see where some of your other faves from the day landed on the Hot 100 this week in 2011…

Welcome to another edition of ‘Retro Rewind‘, the TGJ original feature launched to celebrate TV and Film’s glorious past.

Today, our journey takes us to 1997. Our destination? ‘B*A*P*S’, the New Line Cinema movie starring Halle Berry.

The movie tells the tale of two young women who become ‘Black American Princesses’ after auditioning for a music video in Los Angeles to raise money for the hair salon/soul food spot they hope to create.

It isn’t long before their trip to the West Coast sees them thrown into a sinister plot to milk a millionaire’s fortune.

Unfortunately, it failed to recoup its 10 million dollar budget after its release (it picked up $7,338,229) but, as many will agree, worked wonders for Berry’s diverse filmography.
