Doll Domination by The Pussycat Dolls

Doll Domination is the second 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 tried to break out of the group and start a solo career with Her Name is Nicole, but sales were poor and she 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. Four songs recorded by Scherzinger for Her Name is Nicole were recorded by the group for this album. Doll Domination 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.
