TLC is the fifth and final studio album by American girl group TLC, released on June 30, 2017, by their label 852 Musiq.[5][6] TLC partnered with various distribution companies: Sony Music RED (North America), Liberation Music (Australia), Warner Music Group (Japan), and Cooking Vinyl (the rest of the world).[7] TLC is mainly a pop and R&B album with 1990s music influences.[1] It is their first studio album in 15 years following the 2002 release of 3D.
The album received generally positive reviews from critics, many of whom praised the throwback sound included on the album, though some criticized the album for not living up to their legacy. The album debuted at number 38 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 12,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, 11,000 of which were pure sales. The album also reached number 20 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and number 40 on the UK Albums Chart.
TLC spawned the single "Way Back", which became their fourth Billboard Adult R&B top-10 entry, eventually peaking at number eight. "Haters" was released as the lead international single.
The UK-only deluxe edition features re-recorded versions of the singles "No Scrubs", "Creep", "Unpretty", "Baby-Baby-Baby", and "Diggin' on You".[5] The same recordings were included in the Japan-only 2013 release TLC 20 and were used in the group's television biopic CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story.
