PCD - Pussycat Dolls

PCD is the debut studio album by American girl group Pussycat Dolls, which was released by A&M Records on September 12, 2005. Choreographer Robin Antin founded the Pussycat Dolls as a burlesque company in 1993. After gaining media attention, Antin formed a partnership with Interscope Records to turn the Pussycat Dolls into a brand, with Jimmy Iovine tasked with overseeing the endeavor. Fair created the bulk of the album as one of the executive producers, working alongside producers like Kwamé, Polow da Don, and Rich Harrison. PCD's music has been categorized as pop/R&B and urban dance-pop.

Contemporary music critics gave PCD mixed reviews, praising the album's dance-pop tracks but criticizing the album's ballads and covers, which they felt contradicted the group's sexual image. PCD outperformed industry predictions and became a commercial success in New Zealand, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, where it ranked in the top ten. It reached number five on the Billboard 200 in the United States, selling almost three million copies, and is currently the fourth best-selling album by a girl group in the United Kingdom (with 1.3 million copies sold), where it is presently at eighth on the UK Albums Chart.

Total album sales: 9 million
