Data Insight
Foster and McElroy again write everything, and again no member is credited anywhere. Four singles reached the Hot 100 top fifteen and the album won an American Music Award, all on songs the singers had no hand in writing. It is the high point of the producer-led model before it breaks.
Funky Divas came out in March 1992 and is the group's biggest record, selling 4,416,000 in the United States. It debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200 and topped the R&B chart.
