The new rules still sucks tho. Billboard is dead now

GJ Replay: Jennifer Lopez’s ‘On the 6′



Much like our ‘Retro Rewind’and ‘From the Vault’ segments, readers of That Grape Juice what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past. So in a quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday we introduce a new retrospective segment – ‘TGJ Replay’.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase albums (and eras) from a library of pop music hits. Our inaugural post comes from none other than ‘Jenny From the Block’ herself – Jennifer Lopez.

Before she was dominating media and affectionately christened J.Lo by her adoring fans, she was ‘that girl that played Selena‘. Her debut album‘On the 6′, however, changed all of that…



Fresh from a critically acclaimed portrayal of late Tejano music starlet Selena, Jennifer Lopez’s budding career was already shining bright – making an impressive transition from ‘In Living Color’ backup dancer to highly sought after Latina actress in the late ’90s.

But, according to Lopez, it was her starring role in the biographical film that truly planted a music bug in her. A bug that eventually led Lopez into the studio with top hitmakers Rodney Jerkins and more for ‘On the 6′ – her debut album. Titled after very Subway she would take in New York early in her career and later led by #1 hit single ‘If You Had My Love’, it appeared music fans had nothing but love for Lopez’s offerings:


And, while the album’s follow-up singles‘Waiting For Tonight‘, ‘Feeling So Good’, and ‘Let’s Get Loud’ failed to make the noise their predecessor made on the Hot 100, Lopez had undoubtedly already made her mark on the music industry.

Alluring fans with her sultry dance moves and soft vocals, the album eventually went on to sell over 3 million in the U.S. alone and was the genesis of a media takeover by the Latina starlet which – over a decade later – has seen her sale 60 million + worldwide.

Waiting for Tonight reached #8
And Feelin' So Good was a moderate hit
Let's Get Loud was not released in the US, but it became a big hit worldwide
They better studio Jennilogy before writing that

I hate on On the 6 some times, but it really is one of the better early 00s pop girl albums.

Her rapping, awe

It’s Jennifer Lopez versus Eva Longoria as Condé Nast and Hearst duke it out in the Hispanic market.

In one of the few announced launches from a major media company this year, Condé Nast will debut Glam Belleza Latina, a Glamour spinoff aimed at the Hispanic market with Lopez as its inaugural cover girl.

The Lopez interview was conducted by Veronica Chambers, editor of the magazine, which is slated to publish quarterly in 2013. The first issue hits March 5.

Glamour was beaten to the punch by arch rival Cosmopolitan, which last year launched Cosmopolitan for Latinas. The Cosmo spinoff had three issues last year and plans to publish four this year.

Michelle Herrera Mulligan is the editor of the title, whose spring issue published on Feb. 5 with 60 ad pages and Longoria on the cover.

Glamour Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive said the Hispanic version “will be narrowly focused on the beauty market. We are not trying to be a general-interest magazine.”

Glamour Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive said the Hispanic version “will be narrowly focused on the beauty market. We are not trying to be a general-interest magazine.”

Unlike big sister Glamour, the Hispanic-centered version will be a trim size measuring 6-3/4 inches by 9-1/8 inches — the same size as Teen Vogue in the US and the overseas versions of Glamour.

Cosmopolitan for Latinas is the standard magazine size.

The activity in the Hispanic market stands in sharp contrast to the dearth of major launches on the English-language side of the ledger.

The only other major launch on the horizon is a Dr. Oz magazine from Hearst, where sources say a deal is “99 percent certain.” Neither side has officially confirmed that launch just yet.

With an estimated 60 million Americans of Hispanic background, it is easy to see why media firms are catering to the rapidly growing audience. Until now, most of the growth has been on the TV side.

JENNIFER LOPEZ ON MAKING A DEAL WITH TOMMY

When I went to Tommy's office for the first time, I was nervous. He sat me down and said: "What do you want?"
I was speechless
"What do you want to do with your career?" he said.
I didnt know what to say, so I said: ' I want an A-list deal."
Tommy said:"Okay, you got it. But I want yo sign you right now."
I said: "Wait a minute. I dont have my manager here."
He said:" Let's call him. Get him on the phone. We are making a deal right now."
Tommy always knew what to do. That kind of record company executive doesn't exist anymore.

RODNEY JERKINS - PRODUCER - ON THE DEAL - IF YOU HAD MY LOVE

Tommy said: " Listen, I got an artist I want you to work with. She's a movie star. Her name is Jennifer Lopez."
This was the first deal that Tommy and I did together.
At that time, Jennifer Lopez had no music credibility outside of doing the movie Selena.
I had other people in my ear telling me, "Don't work with Jennifer Lopez, because she's not a singer."
Tommy said: "If you deliver the song, I'm telling you, it will be a smash hit."
I had this idea for a song and I brought the track into Tommy's office, confident that I had something special. Tommy listened to it and said: "What if the melody went: " Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da...'"
That blew me away, because thats's really A&R to me, creative A&R, which we're missing now in this generation of music men. We're missing the guys that have those ears. Tommy understood melody, and he understood where a song should go. He did the melody.
I pulled out my Dictaphone and said: "Do it again, Tommy!" and he sang that melody and I went right back to the studio and it became "If You Had My Love." That sond was Number One for five weeks. Millions of albums sold since then.

JENNIFER LOPEZ ON TOMMY

All this amazing artists with such great catalogs, it all has to do with Tommy.
If one of my records was not performing well in certain area, Tommy would go to that city and make sure it got heard. My second album with tommy was a huge success. I said: " Where do we go from here?"
I'll never forget his answer. He said: "There are no limits-exept the ones you create."
Years later, when he left Sony, I felt orphaned.
