But for them- competing against self, one might say- they just barely scrapped by "irrelevance". Likewise, the 70s Supremes did the same. Single for single, the 70s Supremes bested every other female group of the decade. Unfortunately they failed to score that massive "When Will I See You Again", "Lady Marmalade", "Best of My Love" mega hit. But on paper the 70s Supremes did fairly well, considering how dismal female groups often performed in the 70s for some extremely odd reason.
