They certainly didn't help their brand by doing those low rent reality shows.

The only other 80's/90's artist I can think of who had such a turn in goodwill and regard for their legacy is Janet, and I think she somewhat repaired that in the past few years. Pretty much everything TLC has done since Left Eye died has been mismanaged. Janet def fixed her issue when she left JD. She is still regarded as an icon and legend. TLC literally looks like 2 washed up has-beens.

Setlist for their show tonight in El Cajon/San Diego, CA. Diggin' on You What About Your Friends Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg It's Sunny FanMail Silly Ho Red Light Special Baby-Baby-Baby Haters Meant to Be Unpretty Way Back Creep No Scrubs Joyride WaterfallsAwesome show, with a great band and set of dancers. T-Boz and Chilli looked beautiful, and they were very playful with the audience. Show started close to 1 1/2 hours late due to their costumes getting delayed from LA, so the dancers created a Soul Train line with members of the audience, and a girl came up & sang a killer rendition of Rihanna's "Needed Me" while we waited for the girls.

They lost that with their first week sales. I literally spit the food out of my mouth 😂😂😂. This album sounds so cheap, they couldn't have used more than a tenth of their budget on it. I feel disrespected they didn't have at least one record from each of their big producers (JD, Dallas, Babyface, etc). Hell, isn't Bangladesh Tionne's cousin? He couldn't have worked with their budget?! None of these producers are really in demand, they could've made it work. Oh well.

Fact from song writing credits:
Chilli has only contributed to 4 songs they have released across their entire career: "Lovesick," "Over Me," "Give It To Me While It's Hot," "Come Get Some."
So those on them about T-Boz being more involved creatively, in terms of songs, can know that Chilli hasn't ever contributed much in that regard.

TLC is #9 on Independent Albums. It falls off the Billboard 200, R&B Albums and the R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart.
"Way Back" holds at #12 (peak #10) on the Adult R&B chart.

TLC is #19 this week on Independent Albums. "Way Back" gains a bit and matches its #10 peak on the Adult R&B chart.

They should throw out "It's Sunny." That song is just pure joy and fun and Urban AC would probably eat up the sample

Still bopping to "No Introduction" and "Scandalous" like shit. I don't get the bitterness here. It's obvious they tried with whatever they could have. There's a reason why these groups were successful as a group. T-Boz and Chilli are realistic enough to acknowledge that they ain't shit without the TLC brand.
