"3D" is the fourth and final studio album by American R&B and hip hop group TLC, released by Arista Records on November 12, 2002 (see 2002 in music), seven months after the death of rapper Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes.3D debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200 with 143,000 copies sold. The album was certified Platinum by the RIAA, selling just over 900,000 copies in the US and two million worldwide. Prior to release, there had been reports that Left Eye would be prominently placed on the album, when it was released, however, she was only on featured tracks; similar occurred with the release of the group's prior album, "FanMail".
