Destiny’s Child sold over 100M/ Best-Selling GG ever


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

The Supremes are the biggest girl group of all time. It's just that record sales were much lower in the 60's.

They’re not. DC is.

See during the whole Xscape/SWV mess this week,  I was under the impression that TLC was still on top but I love to see DC finally ascend.
 

Destiny Fulfilled alone still takes me there.

But they are. DC may be the best-selling girl group - even though they did not sell anywhere near 100M no matter what Mathew Knowles claims on his blog :priceless: - thanks to them beneficiating from a much better sales climate (they were in their prime during the all time peak of record sales while the Supremes had theirs in the 60's when record sales were extremely lower).

Relatively speaking the Supremes were much bigger than DC or any other girl group and it's not really up for debate.

 

Just in the US (their main market):

 

12 #1s for the Supremes vs. 4 #1s for Destiny's Child

DC is probably the second biggest girl group of all time even though it's very close between them, TLC and the Spice Girls.

I do agree with that poster.

DC is second after The Supremes. They were close to Beatles as female groups go.

Again, DC is the biggest selling female group of all time which is in the title, I think a Mat would know how much the group he managed sold :rip: 

and it’s not some blog, it was a music summit he spoke at (press release) of his achievements— saying this all while posting a twitter account. :skull:


 

And the BB of all time chart is based on a point system.. I could say The Supremes benefited from that due to how heavy single driven the charts were & I mean after releasing 66 singles..  and let’s not get on a International lvl there is no black/American female group seeing Destiny’s Child. 

 

Now back to the topic, the best selling gg of time, DC.

The Supremes had to have sold AT LEAST 60 million singles alone. If we include albums and digital, they likely sold more than any other girl-group, competing with the Andrew Sisters.

How this possible? her biggest album The Writing's on the Wall still can't catch up TLC and Spice in her biggest market US, and TLC/Spice was more bigger in Europe and Japan.

 

US sales

CrazySexyCool  8,970,000

Spice 7,500,000

The Writing's on the Wall 7,100,000

One, it says record sales which includes more than albums, sweetie. TLC we’re not bigger than DC on the international lol  & DC sold more albums in the US than both 

from 2007:

Quote

Since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales information 1991, the female group that has sold the most albums in the U.S. is the Dixie Chicks, with 26.2 million sold.

Destiny’s Child is next, with 16.7 million, while TLC is third with 15.4 million.
