The Pussycat Dolls (also known as PCD or The Dolls) was a popular American pop and R&B girl group. They were also known for their amazing dance moves. The group was first created by a talented choreographer named Robin Antin.
The group started in 1995 in Los Angeles, California. Back then, they were a dance group that performed in a special style called burlesque. This style combines dance, music, and theater. In 2003, Robin Antin helped them get a record deal with A&M Records and Interscope Records. This is when the Pussycat Dolls officially became a music group.
By 2005, the main members of the group were Nicole Scherzinger (the lead singer), Melody Thornton, Jessica Sutta, Ashley Roberts, Kimberly Wyatt, and Carmit Bachar. The group also appeared on reality television shows. They even had a special show in Las Vegas. Robin Antin and the record companies helped them create many other exciting projects.
Becoming Famous: The PCD Album
The Pussycat Dolls became famous all over the world in 2005. This happened when they released their first big album called PCD. The album was a huge success! It reached number five on the U.S. Billboard 200 Chart. This chart lists the most popular albums in the United States.
The PCD album had many hit songs that people loved. Some of their most famous singles from this album include "Don't Cha", "Buttons", and "Stickwitu". The song "Stickwitu" was so popular that it even earned the group a Grammy Award nomination. A Grammy Award is one of the highest honors in the music world.
New Music: Doll Domination
In March 2008, one of the members, Carmit Bachar, left the group. The Pussycat Dolls then continued as a group of five members, also known as a quintet. They released their second album in 2008, which was called Doll Domination.
This album also had several popular songs. Some of the well-known singles from Doll Domination were "When I Grow Up", "I Hate This Part", and "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)". The Pussycat Dolls continued to be a big name in pop music for several years.
