Chilli: Destiny's Child is NOT the biggest selling female group of all time!

Chilli from TLC was interviewed by Essence Magazine and said some interesting ish. Check out some excerpts:

ESSENCE.COM: You're part of the best-selling female girl group of all time, and now you've entered the worlds of accessories and skincare.

CHILLI THOMAS: “Thank you for acknowledging that because everyone always credits Destiny's Child as the biggest-selling female group, but it's just not true. You can't count album sales for each solo project collectively and come up with numbers. I love Destiny's Child, but thank you…”

X
ESSENCE.COM: So what's up with your new music?

X
CHILLI: “I'm exploring my options and definitely the indie route. Nowadays, record labels want to sign you to these 360 deals, which means that they get a percentage of everything you do whether it's concerts, merchandising. Back in the day, that's how an artist made their money, but artists aren't selling albums like they used to. TLC had a lot of financial issues and I refuse to bind myself to a deal because I know better now.”

ESSENCE.COM: Throughout the blogosphere, folks speculated about whether you, Usher and Tameka communicate. Do you?

X
CHILLI: “I don't have any contact with her. I have not spoken to her in years. There's no relationship at all between us. I haven't spoken to Usher, either. When people ask whether or not I think she is the reason we broke up, I have no clue what Usher was doing outside of our relationship. When we broke up, it was because it wasn't working out. I later found out there was some infidelity, but he never said who that woman or who those women were, because I'm sure it was more than one.... I never asked. My memory of her was that she was the stylist, because she dressed Usher and I for an event one time..... I think what keeps it alive at all is these [blogs]speculating whether we'd get back together.”

Ok...now those who know me know I'm about to read Ms. Rozanda.

#1 Destiny's Child has sold over 50 million albums worldwide compared to TLC's 36 million. Granted their solo efforts are accounted for in that number, but Chilli needs not to forget that all of TLC tried to go solo at one time and failed miserably. Yes... TLC paved the way, but Destiny's Child did a hell of a job finishing what they started. Like Jay-Z said, "If you really put me on, put yourself on then!"

#2 The title "Best selling female group of all time was given to Destiny's Child by the World Muscic Awards, they didn't make the ish up.

X

#3 If we want to be technical, the damn Dixie Chicks are the biggest selling female group of all time with well of 36 million albums sold...just as a group.

#4 Quit Crying

#5 God rest Left Eye's soul, I loved her!
