20 is a compilation album by American girl group TLC. It was released on October 15, 2013, by Epic and LaFace Records, marking both the group's 20-plus year legacy in entertainment business and the release of their biographical VH1 original film, CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story, which largely inspired the track listing for 20.[1] Many of their hits are featured, including their four number-one singles: "Creep", "Waterfalls", "No Scrubs", and "Unpretty", as well as "Meant to Be", a new track co-written by singer Ne-Yo.[2] Most of the tracks are featured in the original radio format, like on their previous compilation album Now and Forever: The Hits, and "No Scrubs" is featured in its original radio version with an accompanying rap of Left Eye.[3]

Commercial performance[edit]

The album peaked at number 12 on the Billboard 200 the week after the premiere of the VH1 original film CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story, becoming the group's highest-charting greatest hits collection in the United States. The album stayed on the Billboard 200 for a total of six weeks.[4] The album also peaked at number two on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[5]
