The Pussycat Dolls are an American girl group and dance ensemble,
founded in Los Angeles, California, by choreographer Robin Antin in
1995 as a burlesque troupe. At the suggestion of Jimmy Iovine, Antin
decided to take the burlesque troupe mainstream as a pop group. Antin
negotiated a record deal with Interscope Geffen A&M Records in 2003
turning the group into a music franchise comprising Nicole
Scherzinger, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Melody
Thornton, and Kimberly Wyatt. Their debut single, "Sway", was featured
on the soundtrack of the 2004 film Shall We Dance?The Pussycat Dolls
achieved worldwide success with number-one singles "Don't Cha",
"Stickwitu", "Buttons", and their multi-platinum debut album PCD
(2005). However, despite their commercial success, the group was
plagued by internal conflict due to the emphasis on Scherzinger, the
group's lead vocalist, and the subordinate treatment of the other
members. Bachar's departure from the group preceded the release of
their second and final studio album Doll Domination (2008), which
contains hit singles "When I Grow Up", "I Hate This Part", and "Jai Ho
(You Are My Destiny)". Following the completion of their 2009 world
tour, the group went on hiatus and fully disbanded in 2010. The
original recording line-up, minus Thornton, announced their reunion in
2019 with an upcoming tour and a new album.
