Four years ago, the Pussycat Dolls entered the music scene with an extremely popular album that had mainstream success thanks to multiple hits like "Don't Cha" and "Buttons.” The group, consisting of Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Melody Thornton and Kimberly Wyatt, hopes to dominate competition that has sprung up in their absence with their sophomore effort “Doll Domination.” Unfortunately, their new release doesn't have quite the same appeal of its predecessor, according to several reviews.
“Doll Domination” was released on September 23. The first single from the album, "When I Grow Up" peaked at number 9 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, and peak at number 2 in Australia.
