They really came out GUNS BLAZING

It was nominated for 8 Grammy's, winning 3 and sold 10 million worldwide including 1 million in Japan.

 

It had 2 US #1s including "No Scrubs" (4 weeks) and "Unpretty" (3 weeks)

 

Multiple singles were rejected from the album including Britney's "Baby One More Time", Whitney's "Heartbreak Hotel" and 702's "Where My Girls At?"

Imagine if the singles were:

 

1. No Scrubs

2. Baby One More Time

3. Where My Girls At

4. Unpretty

 

That would have been a slay!

That deserved to stay with Whitney! Lol 

 

Sidebar: I loved this album and the rollout! 

They really ate with this album, the theme, the songs, the visuals.

 

Sorry I turned you out (You out)
I guess I didn't know
That a man could be so soft, hmm
Well I guess I have to give you back (Guess I have)
The flowers the candy (What?)
The diamonds, oh no not the diamonds
Oh hell no, wait a minute
I'ma keep that (Better keep it, girl)
Hope that you don't mind
I'm not the mushy kind
(The mushy kind)
Never been, never will

This album is probably my favorite TLC album from start to finish. 

Many songs could have been singles from it. 

One of my favorite albums of all time 

I always loved the album's futuristic aesthetic  iconic era.

Obviously we love the hits, but “Silly Ho” is truly delightful.

What happened to this album after Unpretty? Back to back number one singles and then… Dear Lie

If "Where My Girls At?" Was the 3rd single it wouldve been another #1 for them and the era may have had more legs than CrazySexyCool

 

Multi-week #1 SMASH in an alternate timeline 

 

TLC were always so ahead of their time. Favorite girl group ever. The production on Fanmail still sounds fresh.

Did TLC ever provide vocals or are there demos out there for their versions of

 

Where My Girls At

Heartbreak Hotel

Baby One More Time
