A song and performance at an award show would be cute, but I'm not here for an album or tour. I can't take anymore Kelly, Michelle stans and anti-Beyonce dummies bitching about Bey singing lead or standing in the middle or some other nonsense about "special treatment", just takes away from the experience. They couldn't even keep it cute for the Superbowl cameo, talking about Bey turned their mics down because she was mad that Kelly stole the spotlight

TWOTW is definitely eligible, it was certified 8x Plat in 2001, there's no way it hasn't shifted enough copies (through their reunion both in 2004 + 2013), plus streams, to be diamond eligible. The question is whether or not Matthew/Columbia are willing to pay to update their plaques. I don't think Survivor is eligible, as the era wasn't milked in the same way TWOTW was, and it was last certified 4x Plat in January 2002.
I would love an album, but I feel like the sonic evolution would primarily be pushed by Bey, and I 100% don't think that Kelly or Michelle could hold a stage the same way Bey is able to if they toured. It would be an absolute mess, the Hive would complain, the haters would complain, etc.
