Doll Domination
Doll Domination is the second and final studio album by American girl group the Pussycat Dolls, released on September 19, 2008 by Interscope Records. Following the success of their debut studio album, PCD (2005), Nicole Scherzinger attempted to launch her solo career with Her Name is Nicole; however after four unsuccessful singles and a number of push-backs, Scherzinger decided to focus on the group's second album. The album's release was preceded by the departure of the group's longest-standing member Carmit Bachar. Development began in February 2008 where the group worked with previous collaborators Sean Garrett, Polow da Don and Timbaland and new ones such as Darkchild, J-Roc and Ne-Yo. Additionally four songs recorded for Her Name is Nicole were given by Scherzinger as she felt that the songs were better suited for the group.
Doll Domination generally received mixed to negative reviews from music critics, who criticized its anonymity, longevity and material that doesn't live up to its predecessor. It debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 becoming the group's highest charting album; however the album is considered a commercial disappointment. It experienced similar peaks on the charts, debuting at number three in Canada and number four in Australia and the United Kingdom. Seven singles were released from the album which included the international hits "When I Grow Up", "I Hate This Part" and "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)"—which credited Scherzinger as featured artist—charted in the top twenty of the Billboard Hot 100. To support the album, the group embarked on their second headlining concert tour, entitled the Doll Domination Tour. Throughout 2009 the album was reissued in several different forms.
