FanMail is the third studio album by American girl group TLC, released on February 23, 1999 by LaFace Records. It was the follow up to their 1994 album CrazySexyCool. The title of the album is a tribute to their fans who sent them fan mail during their hiatus.
The album took on a new world, futuristic style, which was highly popular throughout the late 1990s to early 2000s. This style was effectively portrayed in the album's most popular song "No Scrubs", along with the music video, which embraces a modern emphasis on female strength and independence. It received 8 Grammy nominations at the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards, including one for Album of the Year, and won three. As of 2000, the album has been certified 6× Platinum by the RIAA, and has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.

I was going to include illmatic but I figured it was already bound to show up on the list regardless so had it snubbed from mine in favor of some others that I hope shows up later.

Wow, when I saw Tapestry wasn't in the top 100 I thought Neutral Milk Hotel wouldn't make it. So glad I was wrong, that album is a masterpiece
Now I have two albums out.
Oh, and I love The Score, but I included the superior Lauryn Hill album in my list hihi
