Drake is currently riding high with his new album ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’. The set, which dropped as a surprise earlier this week, has been earning praise aplenty for both its unique roll-out and content.
And yet, despite this, the rapper has been recorded plugging the release of ex girlfriend Rihanna.
While performing at a Sprite sponsored concert in New York last night, Drizzy paid homage with his own rendition of the track.
Check it out below…
Once the Buffy to Rihanna‘s Faith, the latest era of Beyonce‘s career has seen her swerve into the the ‘Pour It Up‘ singer’s “crazy, sexy, cool” lane and- if we’re being really honest- beat her at own game.
The result? A cooler and far more relatable Beyonce sat at the top of the brand arguably fresher today than it ever has been.
That might be one way to explain why her latest single ‘7/11‘ now sits atop Urban radio this week, becoming the fifth bop lifted from her ‘Beyonce‘ campaign to do so.
It success comes as the album’s Urban singles continue to outperform its Pop siblings, topping the Urban radio tally after the Hip Hop single ‘Drunk in Love’ outperformed the Ryan Tedder- penned ‘XO‘ on the Billboard Hot 100.
Welcome, once again, to TGJ Replay.
Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest 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. As this week brought with it the 34th birthday of Grammy-winning R&B superstar Alicia Keys, we thought it time to add her ‘Diary of Alicia Keys’ album to our entries of ‘Replays.’
Get reacquainted with her 2003 sophomore set below:
Ciara is back and racing up the iTunes charts with new single ‘I Bet’.
After amassing more than five million streams on VEVO since its debut two weeks ago, the truth-baring gem was released on iTunes yesterday and is well on its way to becoming a digital hit.

Welcome back to TGJ Replay!
Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest reflective segment to act as a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday. Unlike its retrospective predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.
Now, as fans ready themselves for the highly anticipated Whitney Houston made-for-TV biopic ‘Whitney’ (January 17th at 8/7c on Lifetime), there is no better time to ode the songstress than with today’s replay of her multiplatinum third album ‘I’m Your Baby Tonight.’
“The third album is probably always the hardest because people expect so much. [They say] the first one is ok, the second one was pretty good, but now what is she going to do for the third one? It’s always that expectation level that makes it hard to deal with. You want it to be accepted in the same way that the first and second one were.” – Whitney Houston, 1991
Join us as we travel back to 1990… (more…)
It was billed as the comeback of a Pop Titan. However, under performing singles, so-so videos, and invisible radio support, confirm that Gwen Stefani‘s return to the Pop sphere is officially in the danger zone.
Let’s peruse the numbers…
Comeback single ‘Baby Don’t Lie’ peaked at a paltry #46 on the Billboard Hot 100, while its follow-up ‘Spark The Fire’ was released to such a frosty reception in December that it’s yet to chart a month on. Neither track is fairing much better on VEVO. The visual for ‘Baby’ has been lodged at the 13 million views mark months after debuting and ‘Fire’ isn’t generating any heat with just 3 million plays worldwide.
Stefani’s current predicament marks the second time in as many years that the singer has found herself on unstable terrain. No Doubt‘s 2012 comeback effort resulted in shocking sales and an axed tour. Hope for another reunion was quelled upon the announcement of Gwen’s new solo venture – which at the time felt like a fair payoff. Yet, with that now a mucky mess of sorts too, it brings the questions of what went wrong and can it be fixed to the surface.
We weigh in below…
Through the new organisation ‘Global Music Rights’, Irving Azoff– the manager behind the careers of Pharrell Williams, Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera– has threatened to file $1 billion lawsuit against the video sharing site YouTube.
Who, what, where and why?
Litigious drama below…
Hip Hop newbie Bobby Shmurda may have seen his career come to an untimely demise today, seemingly cut short as he faces the heavy hand of law following claims he is part of a street gang behind several shootings linked to a drugs turf war.
Bad news for the ‘Hot‘ new rapper below…
Though the speed in which new artists come and go may give some good reason to believe the above, a new report released today points to the contrary.
