TLC's Rozanda 'Chilli' Thomas is reportedly tired of hearing about Destiny's Child.
That is in relation to the group being billed as the "Best Selling Female Group of All Time."
Speaking on that notion Chilli told Essence, "Everyone always credits Destiny's Child as the
biggest-selling female group, but it's just not true."
In case you think Chilli is wrong she says "You can't count
album sales for each solo project collectively and come up with
numbers. I love Destiny's Child, but thank you."
During their peak years, mainly during "Crazy, Sexy, Cool," TLC moved 45 million albums worldwide.
The group's CrazySexyCool (1994), is also noted at being the first diamond certified album by the RIAA for a female group.
In comparison, Destiny's Child, who called 'technically' called it quits in 2005, has sold, according to Nielsen, roughly 50 million albums worldwide, including the group's last album "Destiny Fulfilled"

TLC was global and still to this day, look at it they won the Brit awards two times for best international female group. people know that beyonce tried to compete with TLC cuz destiny's child was hating on TLC just cuz TLC was big like Micheal and Janet and you cant compete with legends that came before you that just that.
I forgot to post the artilce to look it up encase no one believes Chilli Of The Hit Group TLC Launches Bag Line
If you read a more recent artile on TLC which is posted on this site it stated that as a group TLC has sold 150 million albums world wide and if you read anything on Destinys Child everythingsays they have sold 50 to a 100 million albums world wide. So TLC still hold the world record as the best selling female group of all time. If you dont believe look up the article. The artlce is . So Chilli was right they even out sold the spice girls!!!!!
I do not think you people read....It says that TLC has sold 45 million records worldwide and Destiny's Child has sold 50 million records worldwide....Destiny's Child won the the title of "highest selling female group worldwide" which is based off of worldwide sales which according to this report they outsold TLC.
BUT SPICE GIRLS STILL SOLD EVEN MORE THAN THAT!
and thats without ANY promotion of the album....talk about THE BEST....i agree...and TLC paving the way for DC3????...i think not...they came out in the same time frame...so thats not true at all....
well DC3 has the best selling greastest hits album by an all female group...selling over 1 million copies in the US and over 3 million World Wide....
The Spice Girls have sold over 60 million records as a group and are therefore FACTUALLY the best-selling female group of all time.
These b****es should be battling out for best selling american group or RnB group of whatever because neither of them come close to the global sales of the Spice Girls.
SG also have the best selling album of all time by a female group (Spice) and the best selling single of all time by a female group (Spice).
chili fall destiny's child better than tlc so get it right let it be known
first off f*** the spice girls whose taking about them anyway and tlc is the top selling girl group of all time and they had a swag and a unique style.......................dc is just beyonce in everyone knows that that is why they did sell as many albums as they did...........so chilli i fells you
BEYONCE Knowles Outshines everyone. Even her role models!! That's COOL. When her family love is added to the picture, that makes her EVEN more of a shooting star. I'm drop dead gorgeous too, so I know.
TLC were a top selling group, I'm not the one to judge these people they are all talent, so let's be nice to each other, Beyounce know calls herself a Icon, wow good for her, I just see her very talent, A Icon are someone been around like Mary J Blige, TLC, I'm not trying to knock no one, I call as I see it...
The best-selling girl group of all time is THE SPICE GIRLS. They sold 55 millions copies worldwide, the first album "Spice" sold 23 million copies, become the best-selling album by a female group in the music history.
let me now say that beyonce always trying to be on top before her girls thats crazy and brittany let me tell u girl now dc didt record togather with the dcf album i heard that there was tention between the girls cuz b wanted to have them to sing songs they didt want to sing so tlc never had that bs in the group so hum what u gotta say about that?

Spice Girls sold 55 million world wide...so boTh are losers.......
And they did not count individual sales on here because Beyonce has sold above 50 million records by herself....LOL! And Kelly and Michelle also sale fairly well contrary to popular belief....So that 50 million which is now higher because they released a number 1's album after Destiny Fulfilled means that they outsold TLC. People stop hating and get over it already...If Chilli wants to prove something then she should not do it by refuting another groups sales....How does she know anyway, and if it was untrue then why didn't she refute this claim in 2005, when they were bestowed with this title, is is 2008, nearly 3 years later....That should prove the validity in her statement if nothing else does...
I do not think you people read....It says that TLC has sold 45 million records worldwide and Destiny's Child has sold 50 million records worldwide....Destiny's Child won the the title of "highest selling female group worldwide" which is based off of worldwide sales which according to this report they outsold TLC. But if we are talking about the US, then Chilli's statement may hold truth....But other than that her statement is not correctly justified....especially because TLC has not been as consistent as DC with putting out albums...So I think before you are quick to jump to conclusions you should read all of the information.
O. I forgot the t in Destiny. SORRYES.
THANK GOD SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT! She read my mind. I love Desiny's Child but I am soooo tired of people saying that they're "the Best". That's just a false statement. No disrespect to them but C'mon. Yes, they did it worldwide and yes they're internationally known but they ARE NOT the the best. To me, TLC paved the way for them to be that big so I think the credit really goes to them.
And for u Gabby, u ignorant mofo, BEYONCE is not Destiny's Child. Did I say that right? IS NOT. BEYONCE is BEYONCE. Lets just leave it at that!!!!
I got much love for her, but I just wanted to say that she is 1 person. I hate when they give her all the credit for the group. SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!
sound like somebody kinda mad...maybe TLC did sell more but Destiny Child mighta been a better group all together, when you think about it. they got farther than TLC--Globally. TLC was just a black group. DC was international...respect Beyonces GANGSTA!!!
wtf? tlc was the top selling group. you right chilli..destiny's child was no where on yall level. enough said
what? happened
I respect them for not replacing Left-Eye because TLC will never be the same without her. Plus I don’t think that T-Boz and Chilli should make a comeback, at least not as TLC. I think they should still be in the spotlight doing something else but the band thing, NOT! See it’s too much competing in the industry these days and besides hip-hop has change so much since TLC. It’s nothing but a fashion show, whose’ sexier, and who’s prettier then the other. I just don’t know why music can’t be music anymore. But Chilli has a point with Destiny’s Child, stop comparing the two!
Rest in Peace, Left-Eye!!!!!!!!
I really like Chilli, but she and T-boz should've replaced Left-eye epecially when they had that reality show a few years back. They were not gonna remain the top group forever. Her and T-boz appear to be doing fine these days, but they could've kept themselves going as a group, despite their uncanny chemistry with Left-eye! The Supremes, Labelle and EnVogue had replacements and look at what may be happening to Danity Kane!!
