The year 1994 served up much in the way of now-classic hits; one of the notable being TLC‘s ‘Creep’. Lifted from the ladies’ monster-selling ‘CrazySexyCool’ LP, the song and its accompanying video were not only successful (standing as the group’s first #1 on the Hot 100), they went some way in establishing T-Boz, Left-Eye, and Chilli as the original pioneers of the now mainstream ‘Independent Women’ M-O.
Indeed it was gender-progressive hits such as this and ‘No Scrubs’, as well as more socially-concious releases such as ‘Waterfalls’, which helped to establish TLC as the biggest selling female group of all time. A group which the likes of Destiny’s Child owe a significant amount of their success to. TLC, we salute you.

TLC is the biggest selling female group in the USA and the Spice Girls are World Wide!!! Get it right!!!
um all I was all of 5 when this song came out but I remember this song was BIG!
Loves it. But vocally, TLC was not a powerhouse like Destiny’s Child but they had their own sound that was unique and it worked for them!
TLC is more successful, but the members lack charisma on the stage.

@MT
b**** pls i see u dont know s*** about DESTINY’S CHILD……you want a true R&B song
go and listing to THE WRITING’S ON THE WALL album A. K. A the album the ENDED TLC music career….LOL
Left eye ended their career. Not The Writing’s On The Wall. Ugh
Learn your history STANS! We know who the best is and @OKAY not sure where you got your stats from but you can take ’em back there. DC themselves paid homage to these ladies, so show some respect to pioneers. Nobody had swag like these 3 ladies, females in the game still trying to be CrazySexyCool! BTW “Creep” is that banger, it still goes hard!
This argument is silly. Destinys child is Beyonce and if you listen to the albums its sounds like beyonce singing background.
TLC is a generation, a movement when urban music was hand in had with popular and for an urban group they did considerably well.
As far as im concerned Destinys Child cannot compete with the En Vogues, SVW’s and 702’s of this world vocally . Yes they are successful but there is more to music than that album sales, theres emotion pushing the boundries and setting trends and TLC did that and this shouldn’t be forgotton
Destiny’s Child had the voice. And the cultural impact.
THE SPICE GIRLS are actually the best selling girl group of all time..btw
TLC was different and the only ones doing that they were doing at the time. But by the time Left Eye died TLC had so many problems between themselves that another album was nearly impossible. and they said this in many interviews. Soo as far as them being bigger than DC if Left Eye was alive? yeah..not true.
so many BEYONCE WORSHIPPERS ITS PATHETIC AND SCARY LOL… DC DID NOT SELL AS MANY RECORDS AS TLC WHERE DO YOU GET THESE FACTS???? AND STOP SAYING VOCALS VOCALS VOCALS… IF VOCALS WAS ALL THAT MATTERED THEN MARIAH WOULD STILL BE ON TOP, AND SO WOULD BRANDY AND CHRISTINA A., BUT OBVIOUSLY SELLING RECORDS IS NOT ALL ABOUT VOCALS, TLC>>>>>>>DC
Well if you all wanna get technical the Dixie Chicks are the best selling girl group in the us, Sam should have known since most of his material comes from billboard where they had an article about it not long ago. Idk about worldwide though. TLC is the best though with encouraging songs like unpretty, songs DC3 didn’t do. Also no lineup changes to stay relevant.
Giving props where they’re due, thank you!
TLC for life!
@Dev It’s funny how u say DC is Beyonce but I bet if Beyonce stans try to add her sales with DC sales u will say they can’t because DC was a group.
and TLC is not even the biggest girl group in the US. It’s the Dixie Chicks according to the RIAA. According to the RIAA it’s the Dixie Chicks, TLC, then DC. But according to Soundscan DC has outsold TLC and they have World Wide. So DC has outsold TLC by the numbers. TLC just has more certifications.
OMG I missed the 90’s 4eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@teammonica
what the f*** u talking about Left eye died April 25, 2002 and TLC music career ENDED in 1999.
TLC MY FAV GIRL BAND OF ALLL TIMEEE!!!
TLC———-> D.C
TLC was a True Girl Band talked about real s*** they where unique and they kept it REAL nobody got kicked of ohhh s*** like that D.c and Pcd Are just manufactured girl bands just init for fame.
TLC ARE LEGENDS GOOD DAY!
UHHH Destiny child got these stupid mutha fuckas mad huh.lol now im a fan of tlc, they have classic songs, but why in the f*** would u say they wasnt selling s** when 80% of their s*** was about s**…while DC had songs about love, women empowerment, Being yourself….DC is the best selling group of all time, stop f****** with this wikipedia s*** and get on your real facts, DC sold 60 million albums worldwide..while TLC sold 50 million…RIP left eye, i loved and still do TLC….but dont try and down DC cause tlc been out longer, smh
Although I do love DC, TLC is my all time favorite male or female group EVER!
I think they were a completely different type of girl group because of the members. First off they had a rapper, who, by the way, was a phenomenal lyricist. No other female group (successful) has ever had a REAL rapper. Chili had amazing dancing abilities. Her vocal tone was appealing in the sexier styled songs. And T-Boz’s voice is the most unorthodox voice anyone has EVER heard.
They sung about REAL situations, unlike the typical relationship situations other female groups talked about. They had those as well but I think they balanced it well.
The main difference in TLC and any other female group is their style/image. They didn’t show skin, or wear the typical tight dresses, they didn’t sell s** to sell records! They came out wearing baggy clothes and boots. They were like real youthful and having fun! I think this played a part in people listening to their MUSIC instead of concentrating on what they look like, or who looks the best, etc. And I LOVED that about them. Yes eventually they began to evolve into some of that, but it was still subtle in my eyes.
Besides, they have made some CLASSIC music!
TLC ALL DAY B******! 🙂
AND WHERE the f*** was yall so caled FANS when they last album 3D,*which i bought* FLOPED…………………..*on to the next one*
I got 3d! Oh and DC wasnt the best with vocals Brownstone was! Oh and DC got 3 grammys TLC got 4! B**** bye!
@ARFA
Just stop.lol
I love TLC and they are my definitely in my top favorite girl groups. The reason I love DC is because I got to see them grow from 15 year olds to grown women on Destiny Fulfilled. They were also a lot more involved with their careers too. Destiny’s Child started their career really early like how Taylor Swift is started her career early and is on the way to becoming one of the country icons of her generation. She’s got a whole lot under her belt at this age than say a LeAnn Rhimes or Jewel did at that same age. Just like that, DC had already had an entire career at the same age those other groups (TLC, SWV, EV, 702, Brownstone, etc.) started theirs. DF showed their growth as a group and vocalists, who knows where they would be now. I love both groups, but I hate when people try to discredit (hate) on Beyonce and DC. I will give TLC the creativity and style but I will stick with my girls DC.
left-eye’s passing is what ended tlc career. right before she passed away tlc were just getting back in the studio an made amends and even USHER had said so in interviews for DC to watch out coz TLC was coming back. so DC didn’t steal nobody’s flame they simply were opportunistic in doing so.
watch this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcTU_8FZo9c
end of story.
Sorry but DC isnt it. TLC ALL DAY EVERYDAY.

i love both, but we can goo all day comparing them, and it wont make sense because they are totaly diffrent, TLC more of tomboyish, like aaliyah, brandy…DC more of girlish like britney spears, christina….Both great girl groups, but there would be not be any DC if it wasnt for TLC….
@sean
B****, vocals is apart of having talent.im guessing u listen to alot of rihanna and kesha cause your whole statement Sounds Dumb as f***.I CANT believe ur complaining about vocals. p**** f****** like u, is the reason why music is what it is today. #ICANT
Love TLC, and DC both made an impact on the world with their music. stop f****** acting like Punks and get a grip. @sean pissed me off when i read that comment, like i could see that person has nothing to do but go on blogs and hate.

@C, ok unpretty but to say DC didnt have any songs about being encourage, What about SURVIVOR, Independent Women, GIRL, FRee, Oh and lets not forget about The T.V show TLC had when left eyed died to replace her i guess they was trying to remain relevant too..yeah your comment was str8 trash too.
Here the list of best selling girl group, stop the fight, read the facts lol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_girl_groups
thank you @ maz
Destiny’s Child wasn’t that great a group. Sorry, but they weren’t. They were basically a latter day Good Girls/Kut Klose. Their style was cliche/corny…their music was trite…and as a group they didn’t have any real discernible personality or image. Unlike En Vogue and TLC, there was nothing “unique” about anything them.
Stylistically, Destiny’s Child was completely interchangeable with other late 90s girl groups like Allure and Shades. ANY and EVERY one of their songs could have been recorded by some other group — or random female soloist — of that time. I can’t imagine any other act pulling off “Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Beg” or “Waterfalls,” but anybody from Monica to 702 could have made “No, No, No,” “Bills, Bills, Bills,” or “Jumpin’, Jumpin'” (what’s with the repeated word titles anyway?) and given it the ***exact*** same aura.
For all intents and purposes, DC blew up on a gimmick. Yeah, they had a few throwaway hits in their early days, but had it not been for the reality show-like drama that came with exiting/replacement members and allegations of blatant internal favoritism (that everyone got suckered into weighing in on), they would not have become as big as they were. Destiny’s Child played on that, and was basically a singing version of Flavor of Love.
Now…that being said, as much as I *greatly* prefer TLC to Destiny’s Child, I will say that it’s absolutely STUPID to claim that TLC helped establish Destiny’s Child. No they didn’t. I get so sick of former popular singers, groups, etc., etc. getting erroneously credited for “paving the way” for the acts that followed just a few years later. Everyone’s success is their own. Just because some act has big success does not mean that they are opening doors for those who’ll follow.
But congratulations Sam, you managed to parlay a phony “flashback appreciation” post, with a deliberately placed smite at another girl group (knowing that it would cause a rawkus from their idiotic and oversensitive fanboy/fangirl stans), into heavy posting activity.
Check out:
The Conversation Chamber
tlc was irreplaceble.. but Destiny’s Child wasnt nothing special
This is straight grown folks music.
DC was more bubble gum pop/rnb like Britney
THANKS @MAZ
TLC WINS

SMH, I love TLC, but destiny child was better, Better in Numbers,better in vocals, Better in awards, better fan base.lol
Tlc is the best hands down, vocally DC is better but stage presence is TLC. 2, if you go by group albums sell and not solo album sell ,tlc has sold more record then destinys child. Tlc create a lane for girl group too be themselve, not what an record make you.
That song was fire !
And the Untouchables Remix also.
The album is one of my top 10 from my 3500 over LP & CD collection for sure !
Destiny’s Child vocally? Are you serious Beyonce sang the entire CD’s the rest of the girls were just background vocalist. In TLC all the girls participated both T-Boz and Chilli sang and Left -Eye rapped. I couldn’t remember a song where LaTiva or LaToya sang lead.
Damn Destiny’s Child shouldn’t of even been called that it should of been called Beyonce’s Child. Look at Kelly’s career she stayed background vocalist so long now expanding out is impossible
@MUSICLOVER1
u f****** this is a TLC POST – so how am i hating
for the record i dont like rihanna or kiesha dumb ass
im into brandy, tyrese even dc i like soul singers as well
but im also well rounded and i apreciate different artist in there talents in the game

not to mention tlc gave u FUNK RAP & POP im done with u
@MUSICLOVER1 that reality show was NOT about replacing left-eye. the girls had said that time an time again and if you had even watched the show youd know.

Dixie Chicks is NOT a girl group! They are a BAND like Nirvana, Coldplay, etc. You wouldn’t call thosse bands boy groups like NSYNC would you? Also, it is to my understanding that DC included the solo album sales from its individual members in addition to its actual group sales in order to give a false impression of higher sales.
