TLC Returns To Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Top 10By Rauly Ramirez, New York | September 12, 2013 6:36 PM EDT As featured on J. Cole's 'Crooked Smile,' the act logs its first top 10 since 1999. Celebrated R&B trio TLC logs its first Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs top 10 since 1999, and 10th overall, as J. Cole's "Crooked Smile," on which it's featured, jumps 12-9. The group's last trip to the region was in 1999, when "Unpretty" peaked at No. 4. As for the most top 10s by female groups since Nielsen data began powering Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs in December 1992, TLC passes SWV and now trails only Destiny's Child, which scored 11. TLC has three chart-toppers to its name: "Baby-Baby-Baby" (1992), "Creep" (1994) and "No Scrubs" (1999). With an as-yet-untitled album featuring four new songs due Oct. 15 on Epic, TLC could yet tie, or even break, Destiny's Child record in upcoming months. A trio in its hit-making heyday composed of singers Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas and rapper Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, TLC has been a duo of T-Boz and Chilli since the 2002 death of Lopes. In addition to its forthcoming set, TLC's comeback will include a VH1 biopic and live performances featuring Lil Mama temporarily filling Lopes' shoes. Here's a look at TLC's 10 top 10s on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: Title, Peak Position, Peak Date "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg," No. 2, April 4, 1992 "Baby-Baby-Baby," No. 1 (two weeks), Aug. 8, 1992 "What About Your Friends," No. 2, Nov. 11, 1992 "Creep," No. 1 (nine weeks), Dec. 10, 1994 "Red Light Special," No. 3, March 18, 1995 "Waterfalls," No. 4, July 8, 1995 "Diggin' On You," No. 7, Jan. 6, 1996 "No Scrubs," No. 1 (five weeks), April 10, 1999 "Unpretty," No. 4, Sept. 18, 1999 "Crooked Smile" (J. Cole featuring TLC), No. 9 (to date), Sept. 21, 2013 On the Billboard Hot 100, "Crooked Smile" rises 44-37 to give TLC its first top 40 hit on the chart since 2002, when "Girl Talk" peaked at No. 28. That song was the lead single off the group's last album, "3D," which opened at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 with 143,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan (Nov. 30, 2002).

I have a hard time believing Waterfalls peaked at #4. It did. Their R&B and CHR/Pop history isn't as impressive as their Hot 100 success would suggest. "Creep" didn't even go Top 10 at CHR/Pop (neither did "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Bed" or "Red Light Special"), and they never had a CHR/Pop #1.

I remember it breaking airplay records back in the day. Either way, I'm going to need a full album from them sooner rather than later. Their chorus on the J. Cole single is awesome, and this is still my favorite VMA performance:

Still in love with this bonus track:
Imagine if they reworked it and added, say, Elton John? That'd be a Grammy-friendly track!

Actually, "No Scrubs" peaked at No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Top 40/Pop Songs chart (and No. 2 on R&R). And "Creep" peaked at No. 9 (No. 11 on R&R).
Would have been nice for the ladies to make an appearance in the video, but it's a strong one, nonetheless.
And, yes- where is the info for the movie soundtrack? It's supposed to premiere in less than a month, isn't it?

It says 20 hits, bit only lists 14. Granted, tlc hasn't had 20 hits, but it does say 20. Maybe the remaining tracks are new versions of hits, like on that Japanese release?

LOVE that cover!
I'm happy we're getting a new full length album in 2014, since that's probably the main reason why we're only getting ONE new track versus the original 4 that were slated.

Can they at least switch up the order of the tracklisting? Damn. I hate the way it's organized. If they were going to have them in order: "Baby, Baby, Baby" was released before "What About Your Friends", "Red Light Special" was released before "Waterfalls", and "Silly Ho" was released (as a promo) before "No Scrubs". But with all the "greatest hits" they've had, I'd prefer a new, random order. I could do without "Kick Your Game" just because it wasn't a single (though they performed it a lot) and I would have liked to see "Dear Lie" and "Girl Talk", but at the end of the day I'm only here for the new song anyway so what does it matter? However it would be really nice if the full, explicit video version of "No Scrubs" was on the album. The only time I've ever seen the rap version on CD was the No Scrubs import, an Unpretty import (both were 4:00, but "ass" and "ho" were censored) and Now & Forever, which is uncensored, but fades out almost as soon as the rap is over. I think the full dirty version was only ever released on vinyl.

September 30th, 2013 | 7:50 pm Exclusive: The Drama Heats Up In New Promo For CrazySexyCool: The TLC Storyby VH1 In a new promo for CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story, fans get a look at the darker side of TLC‘s career. From the time Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes burned down her then-boyfriend’s house to Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins’ ongoing battle with sickle-cell anemia, no stone is left unturned. When you factor in the group’s bankruptcy and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas’ relationship drama, you definitely summed up the ‘crazy’ aspect of the group’s career in 30 seconds.
