Which groups have had the most solo members chart for you?
On my chart, it's a tie - the Spice Girls and (as of this week) One Direction have had all five members chart solo - and in 1D's case, all five are currently charting simultaneously.
This is followed by the Backstreet Boys, of whom four (Nick, Brian, Howie and AJ) have charted outside the group, and Destiny's Child (Beyoncé, Kelly, Michelle, LeToya).
Other notables: New Kids On The Block (Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg) Genesis (Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Mike & the Mechanics) Fugees (Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Pras Michel) Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie) Black Eyed Peas (Fergie, Will.i.am, Apl.de.ap) Pink Floyd (Roger Waters, David Gilmour) The Runaways (Joan Jett, Lita Ford) The Beatles (Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr) Girls Aloud (Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle) Pussycat Dolls (Nicole Scherzinger, Jessica Sutta) Blind Faith (Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood) Broken Social Scene (Feist, Emily Haines) 'N Sync (Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez) Danity Kane (Aubrey O'Day, Dawn Richard) Just to name a few... I'll add more if I think of them.
As for New Edition, only Bell Biv Devoe has charted for me in my chart era of their side projects. Similarly, Don Henley is the only one of the Eagles to chart solo for me.

I only knew about some of these artists being from bands. Pretty cool!
I'm not sure I've had many, other than the same from Spice Girls, Destiny's Child and One Direction. I can only think of adding Take That's Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow, both charting for me.

My answer is TWO - Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez from *N Sync, Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas from The Jonas Brothers, and Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean from Fugees.
Sometimes it's another group that follows, but usually it's a solo act. So either in lead or feature billings, here's my list of those acts from (other) groups that have reached my chart 3 or more times:
19 Justin Timberlake (*N Sync) 18 David Usher (Moist) 16 Darren Hayes (Savage Garden) 11 Robbie Williams (Take That) 10 Ricky Martin (Menudo) 08 Beyonce (Destiny's Child) 06 Joee (Intonation) 06 Pharrell Williams (N*E*R*D) 05 Rob Thomas (Matchbox Twenty) 05 Timbaland (Timbaland & Magoo) 05 Joe Jonas/DNCE (Jonas Brothers) 04 Brandon Flowers (Killers) 04 Lauryn Hill (Fugees) 04 George Michael (Wham!) 04 JC Chasez (*N Sync) 03 Gwen Stefani (No Doubt) 03 Nadia Ali (iio) 03 Smashing Satellites (Salvatore Costa from My Darkest Days)
