While Wilson Phillips — Carnie and Wendy, the daughters of the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson, and Chynna Phillips, daughter of the Mamas and the Papas’ John and Michelle Phillips — have reunited many times over the years and perform regularly nowadays, many Masked Singer viewers or casual/younger fans may not realize just how massively successful the group once was. Wilson Phillips’s self-titled debut album sold more than 10 million copies, yielded four top 10 hits, and at the time of its 1990 release was the best-selling album of all time by a female group.

However, just two years later, it was all over — for the next 14 years, anyway — when the trio went on indefinite hiatus. While Carnie tells me she “never lost hope” that they’d get back together, and Wendy says, “We always knew we would at some point rejoin and ‘marry again,’” the split was difficult for them at the time — especially because their deeply personal and much darker sophomore album, 1992’s Shadows and Light, had failed to replicate the phenomenal success of Wilson Phillips.
