TLC sold more albums than Destiny's Child? Really?!

Don't get me wrong, I stan for TLC ALL day, but I always thought Destiny's Child sold way more cds than they did. Is this domestic figures or world wide?

Kinda hard to tell since you don't give the source for this info.

Billboard?

Forbes?

Rolling Stone?

Your mama?
