TLC was very successful during the 1990s. Their debut album, Ooooooohhh… On the TLC Tip, was released on February 25, 1992. It attained three top-ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Beg“, “Baby-Baby-Baby“, and “What About Your Friends“, and “Hat 2 Da Back“. Overall, they achieved nine top-ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including four number-one singles “Creep“, “Waterfalls“, “No Scrubs“, and “Unpretty“.The group also recorded four multi-platinum albums, including their second album CrazySexyCool (1994).  Having sold over 65 million records worldwide, TLC is the best-selling American girl group. On the third album Titled FanMail, the album was released in February 1999. It received eight nominations, and won three awards: Best R&B Album, Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, the last two for “No Scrubs”. During and after the release of FanMail, Lopes made it known to the press on multiple occasions that she felt that she was not able to express her true self in TLC fully. After the conclusion of the successful FanMail tour, the group took some time off and focused on personal interests. Lisa Lopes was the first to begin recording her solo album, Supernova. After her debut solo album flopped  “Left Eye” started working on her second solo album. On April 25, 2002, before the album was completed, she died in a car crash while filming a documentary in Honduras. In June 2003, a year after the death of Lopes TLC appeared in what was announced to be their last performance by New York radio station Z100 held at Giants Stadium.
