PCD is the debut
PCD received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics who were favorable towards the selection of dance-pop songs but criticized the album's ballads and covers, feeling it contradicted the group's sexual image. PCD exceeded industry expectations and became a commercial success, reaching the summit in New Zealand and peaking in the top-ten in Australia, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. In the United States, it peaked at number five on the Billboard 200 selling nearly three million copies and currently stands as fourth best-selling album by a girl group in the United Kingdom (with sales of 1.3 million copies) where it reached number eight on the UK Albums Chart.

Composition
Inspired by the chorus of "Swass" by Sir Mix-a-Lot, CeeLo Green wrote and produced the opening track, "Don't Cha"; using "controlled and competent" vocals,[15] the Pussycat Dolls taunt a "hapless man" in the chorus because his girlfriend can't be compared to the group.[2] "Don't Cha" also features "garrulous" rap vocals by Busta Rhymes.[16] "Beep", featuring will.i.am, veers from orchestral pop to a "loping and downplayed funk groove" with elements of 1980s pop music.[17] The staccato-like chorus incorporates bleep censors that hides risqué lyrical parts and rejects objectification.[18][19] It interpolates the song "Evil Woman" by the British rock band Electric Light Orchestra. "Wait a Minute" features the final guest of the album,[2] Timbaland whom with the Pussycat Dolls have a "boy-girl give-and-take". It also includes "sassy handclaps".[20] In the pop ballad "Stickwitu",[21] the group celebrates monogamous relationships.[22] "Buttons" is a hip hop-influenced pop and R&B track featuring "snaky synths" over a Middle Eastern rhythm.[23][24][17] Its lyrics "fits right into the burlesque strip tease performances" that the Pussycat Dolls originated from.[25] The post-disco "I Don't Need a Man" sharing the same "quasi-feminism" themes with "Beep", sees the group expressing disinterest in co-dependency towards a male partner.[19][26] "How Many Times, How Many Lies" is a downtempo ballad which sees Scherzinger lamenting.[17][27] The seventh track, "Hot Stuff (I Want You Back)", contains elements of "Hot Stuff" performed by Donna Summer. The song is a "throwback mock disco" with elements of electropop.[17] "Bite the Dust" uses "dramatic strings" and was compared to the works of Destiny's Child.[18] "Right Now", a big band song gives the impression of Broadway musical to the listener.[26][18] The track incorporates accentuated horns and congas that pay homage to Shirley Bassey.[17] Similarly like British duo Soft Cell, the group recorded a mashup between Gloria Jones' "Tainted Love" (1965) and the Supremes' "Where Did Our Love Go" (1964). The song was noted for utilizing the "elements of the synth pop classic".[17] The standard edition's closing track, a cover of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good" was described as a "faux-jazz" version of the original song.[18]
Promotion
Singles
"
"Beep" (featuring will.i.am) had been slated for release as the second single from PCD but was cancelled in favor of "Stickwitu".[3] "Stickwitu" was serviced to US contemporary hit radio stations on September 27, 2005, as the second single.[36] The accompanying music video, directed by Nigel Dick, was released on October 13, 2005. Dick describes the video as a "photographic rendition" of the group's day in the life while being on tour.[37] "Stickwitu" attained top ten status in the United States and other 12 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom; in the latter two territories, the song became the Pussycat Dolls' second consecutive number one.[31] As the third single, "Beep" was serviced to US contemporary hit radio on February 7, 2006.[36] For further promotion, the song was accompanied by a music video directed by the Benny Boom.[12] Commercially, "Beep" became the Pussycat Dolls' third consecutive top-three single in Australia, Belgium (Flanders), New Zealand, the Netherlands, and Norway.[31]
An alternate version of "
"I Don't Need a Man" was the only single of the album not to impact US radio stations,[36] subsequently becoming their lowest charting song on Billboard Hot 100 at number 93.[32] The song was released as the fifth single on September 25, 2006 in the United Kingdom.[43] Compared to their previous singles, "I Don't Need a Man" was slightly less successful, reaching top-ten in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom and top-twenty in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.[31]
"Wait a Minute" impacted contemporary hit radio stations on October 16, 2006.[36] The single was moderately successful, reaching top 40 positions in Australia, Germany, New Zealand, and Sweden.[31]
- Promotional single
In December 2006, National Basketball Association (NBA) and American Broadcasting Company (ABC) selected the Pussycat Dolls' "Right Now" as the opening number for the ABC's coverage of the NBA. The song was used from Christmas through the end of the season and was previewed going into and out of commercial breaks during telecasts.[44] The TV spots features the group perform the song while wearing jerseys of different teams between NBA jump cuts.[45] Subtitled as the "NBA Version", "Right Now" was digitally released as promotional single on January 23, 2007.[46]

Touring
The Pussycat Dolls extensively promoted the album either as a headliner or a support act. On January 31, 2006, it was announced that the Pussycat Dolls would support the Black Eyed Peas' Honda Civic Tour, which started on March 21, 2006, in Fresno, California. The leg consisted of other 33 dates, visiting venues in the United States up until the 21st of May.[62] Throughout June of that year, the Pussycat Dolls performed a combination of headlining and supporting shows for the Black Eyed Peas and Take That in Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, and the United Kingdom.[55] The following month, the group headlined two shows in Asia.[63] In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia the group caused controversy for failing to comply with local dress regulations and performing "sexually suggestive" routines.[64] The Pussycat Dolls later supported ten additional Black Eyed Peas' shows in North America, which commenced on August 24, 2006, and concluded on September 8, 2006.[58] In November of the same year, they embarked on their first headlining European tour until February 2007, visiting 21 venues in Germany, Austria, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.[65] The set list consisted mostly songs from PCD and covers such as "Whole Lotta Love".[66][67] The album received further promotion in 2007 in North America, as they supported Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics Tour in 41 venues between February and May and headlined several shows in-between.[68]

In his consumer guide for MSN Music, Robert Christgau gave the album a "one-star honorable mention" indicating "a worthy effort consumers attuned to its overriding aesthetic or individual vision may well like". Christgau selected "Beep" and "Wait a Minute" as highlights commenting that the group is "sexier than your average prefab sexpots, but no fabber".[70] AllMusic of Stephen Thomas Erlewine provided a favorable review, rating it three stars out of five. Erlewine opined that the great thing about the album are the producers and songwriters who are willing to play with the group's "hyper-sexual image, creating a sleek, sexy sound ideal for both nightclubs and strip joints". However he observed the album's ballads "[undercut] the joyous carnal celebration" of dance songs that are not "quite enough to make this [album] the camp classic".[2] While Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani deemed group's image as "cartoonish", he was surprised that PCD's content wasn't filled with filler. He further noted that if the Pussycat Dolls would want to make a mark in pop music, they should avoid Diane Warren.[71]
Writing for the USA Today, Elysa Gardner acknowledged that "lead singer Nicole Scherzinger and at least a couple of her fellow Dolls have supple voices" despite their superficiality and the song's "insipid lyrics".[72] Raymond Fiore of Entertainment Weekly also noted the Pussycat Dolls' flexible vocals, but felt the songs from A-list producers cannot "arouse her interest for a whole 45 minutes.[73] A reviewer of The Ledger wrote that the album is "essentially a solo release" from Scherzinger while noting songs like "Right Now" "make it clear that she really needs to keep around those dancing, singing/not-singing gals."[74] musicOMH's John Murphy deemed that in PCD there is a "half-decent album struggling to get out here, but it's rather drowned by the image and 'brand opportunities'".[18]
Several reviewers lamented that the inclusion of covers and ballads. Lisa Haines of the BBC lambasted the musical style of the covers noting them as "forgetful".[75] Darryl Sterdan of Jam! called the group "glorified strippers" and mocked them for not writing any of the songs apart from Scherzinger having "token songwriting credits". He went on to describe the covers as "embarrassing" and the ballads as "overcooked".[69] Spence D. of IGN observed that the album's lowest points come from album's ballads.[17]
