PCD is the self-titled debut studio album by American girl group The Pussycat Dolls, released on September 13, 2005 by A&M Records and Interscope Records. Singers Melody Thornton and Nicole Scherzinger were added to the group and after releasing two singles, the album was released. The majority of the album was produced by Ron Fair and Tal Herzberg with other producers contributing: Timbaland, CeeLo Green, will.i.am, and Rich Harrison, amongst others. It incorporates a mixture of contemporary pop, dance, R&B originals and jazz-influenced tracks. Lyrically, most of the songs from the album discuss the theme of female empowerment, while a few other songs talk about sex.

Upon its release, PCD received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who were particularly critical of the covers that made up the second half of the record. Commercially, PCD debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200 chart. The album also charted within the top ten of charts in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Ireland and number one in New Zealand. It became one of the best-selling albums of the 2000-09 decade in the United Kingdom with 1.2 million copies sold. As of June 2008, PCD had sold 10 million copies worldwide.

Six singles were released from the album; Its lead single "Don't Cha" was a commercial success, peaking atop the charts of 15 countries and selling more than 7 million copies worldwide. The song, which is often recognized as the group's signature song, is the highest selling girl group single and one of the best-selling singles of all time. Follow-up singles "Stickwitu" and "Buttons" also reached the top five on multiple charts worldwide. Other singles include "Beep" and "Wait a Minute" which gained moderate success. The Pussycat Dolls performed several songs from PCD during a number of shows, notably during the 2005 MTV Europe Music Awards and American Music Awards of 2006. A headlining world tour, PCD World Tour (2006–07) and two supporting concert tours were held to promote the album, Honda Civic Tour (2006) and Back To Basics Tour (2006).

Background and recording

The Pussycat Dolls were created by choreographer Robin Antin and her roommate Christina Applegate in 1993 after inviting several dancers to explore Antin's idea of classic Las Vegas-style burlesque and give it a more contemporary spin. In 1995, the group began performing every Thursday at Johnny Depp's Los Angeles club, the Viper Room. In 2002, Gwen Stefani was invited to sing and perform with the Dolls and brought along Interscope Geffen A&M chairman Jimmy Iovine and then-president of A&M Records both took interest into turning it in a singing group. In 2003 Antin struck a joint venture with Interscope Records to develop the Pussycat Dolls into a brand, with Iovine assigning the project to Fair. Auditions followed suit, for a separate group which would not include celebrity members. Singers Nicole Scherzinger and Melody Thornton were recruited joining Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta and Kimberly Wyatt forming a new recording group. In 2004, they recorded "We Went as Far as We Felt Like Going" for the Shark Tale soundtrack and recorded their debut single, "Sway", which is featured on the soundtrack of Shall We Dance?. Both songs were produced by Fair.

Prior formation of the group, MTV reported that Ron Fair and Robin Antin met with producers The Neptunes, Outkast, Rockwilder and Cory Rooney. However none of the producers mentioned, contributed to the album. Fair stated that he wanted to create an album which would "involve music and visuals." He explained that "there's going to be some technological changes as well as creative changes in the way we go about it." Recording sessions began in 2004 and ran until the summer of 2005 took place predominantly in The Record Plant in Hollywood and The Hit Factory in Miami, Florida. According to Scherzinger, they want to take the time to put out the best record possible. She further explained that they were very selective with their songs and producers. As one of the executive producers, Fair enlisted a wide range of songwriters and producers for the self-titled album, PCD, including CeeLo Green, Rich Harrison, Timbaland, and will.i.am.

Composition

PCD is predominately a dance-pop album which incorporates elements of many different genres, including soul, R&B, rock, disco and Latin. The opening track and lead single, "Don't Cha" features Busta Rhymes. The song was described as a "self-empowerment" song which taunts a hapless man with lines such as, "Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me/ Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me." The chorus of the song is based on Sir Mix-a-Lot's song "Swass".

The album received an overall mixed result in terms of reviews. Bill Lamb from About.com stated, "Their first full length album proves that "Don't Cha" was not a fluke. The album includes several very good dance-pop songs. PCD is populated by a number of high quality dance-pop songs put together." Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic commented on Scherzinger stating, "PCD, and their artificiality is made clear: the first page reads "All lead and background vocals by Nicole Scherzinger, There is no pretense that Kimberly, Carmit, Ashley, Melody, and Jessica are providing some serious eye candy for a group that is all about the visuals. Raymond Fiore for Entertainment Weekly said, that "not even B-squad urban cabaret pop from A-list production heavyweights (Timbaland, will.I.am, Rich Harrison) can arouse our interest for a whole 45 minutes." Lisa Haines from BBC Online said that the second half of the album does not get attention due to the covers ('Tainted Love', 'Hot Stuff '). Critic Robert Christgau said that the album was "sexier than your average prefab sexpots, but no fabber." Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine said that "the album's ballads ("Stickwitu" and "How Many Times, How Many Lies"), are still difficult to take seriously when followed by a song that begs a man to "loosen up my buttons." Darryl Sterdan, when reviewing the album for Jam!, described the covers as "embarrassing" and the ballads as "overcooked". Spence D. of IGN, while commenting on "Feelin' Good", said the song "comes too late in the game to really save the album from spiraling into a melange of innocuous pop-cum-R&B studio crafted fluff." Elysa Gardner of USA Today, however, said "Scratch past the insipid lyrics on this debut and you'll discover that lead singer Nicole Scherzinger and at least a couple of her fellow Dolls have supple voices. Who says catnip can't have a little bite?"
