In reply to The Kpop Guy, Matt~.

I think lists like these have to be considered in the context of the various chart eras in which these groups charted. The Supremes, for example, left a cultural impact unmatched since, not even by Destiny's Child or TLC -- plus the Supremes charted in a very different kind of chart era. To be fair, the Supremes can't be matched -- ever -- just like New Edition or Boyz II Men could have never been the Temptations, or like Lady Gaga could have never been Madonna. The numbers are interesting to a point, but they don't really tell the tale.
