Doll Domination

Untitled

Doll Domination is the second studio album from the Pussycat Dolls, scheduled for release on September 23 2008. The first single from the album, "When I Grow Up" is a hit, peaking at number nine on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Also, it is a success in Australia, peaking at number two, and number three in the United Kingdom. The album will have a Parental Advisory sticker on it.

Album information

The tracks on the album have been produced and/or written by Timbaland, Dr. Dre, Scott Storch, The Clutch, Cee-Lo Green, Cutfather, Jonas Jeberg, Sean Garrett, Darkchild, Kara DioGuardi, Fernando Garibay, Lady GaGa, Ryan Tedder, Taio Cruz, and Chase N. Cashe of Zone 4 Inc.

On May 20, 2008, the Pussycat Dolls performed their new single "When I Grow Up" for the first time live on Jimmy Kimmel Live, again at the MTV Movie Awards on June 1, and a third time on So You Think You Can Dance on June 12. The song was released on May 27, 2008.

Other promotions include hosting the 2008 Maxim Hot 100 on VH1 on the position number seventeen.

Nicole made an appearance in Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious singing a song titled "Just Say Yes". It was going to be included in Nicole's solo album, though the song is included on this album instead.

Each of the dolls has a solo song on a separate bonus part of the album.

The Deluxe Edition of the album is also set for a release, with slightly different cover art and five solo songs from each of the dolls, as Jessica confirmed during an interview with NewNowNext.

They also performed five songs at a Wal-Mart Soundcheck showcase: "I Hate This Part", "Take Over the World" and "When I Grow Up" from Doll Domination, and "Buttons" and "Don't Cha" from PCD.

On September 1 2008, "I Hate This Part" and "Take Over the World" were leaked onto the internet as live Versions and HMV announced a tracklisting for the album, which caused much confusion as it included Nicole's solo songs and unconfirmed song titles, and did not include the album's second single, "Whatcha Think About That".

2009 World Tour

On July 31 2008, while promoting the album in Asia, the group announced that a tour in support of the album would begin in early 2009, visiting the U.S., Europe, Asia & Australia. Dates will be announced following the album's release.

It has since been confirmed on E! News at the opening of the new Pussycat Doll Lounge by Robin Antin, the groups founder, that the tour will begin in Europe in late March 2009, and then visit Asia and Australia in May/June, before finishing up in the U.S. at the end of the Summer. India is also being rumored to be the first stop for the tour[1]. Robin also confirmed that it will be a co-headlined tour with another major act, similar to the groups 2005 tour with the Black Eyed Peas, 2006 tour with Rihanna and 2007 tour with Christina Aguilera.

On August 28 2008 Ne-Yo confirmed on UK radio station Capital FM that he would be touring with the group throughout 2009 in support of his latest album Year of the Gentleman. He said that the tour is currently going to be called "Dolls & Gentlemen: An Evening with Ne-Yo and the Pussycat Dolls", but that this wasn't confirmed. He also went on to explain that the show would feature sets from both acts, but that they 'would share the stage at some points too'. Tickets will go on sale after both acts release their albums. He stated the tour would kick off in April and that it would visit London, Paris and other European cities.

On September 7 2008, as the Dolls were interviewed by MTV about their Video Music Award win for "When I Grow Up", they confirmed that plans to tour with Ne-Yo had been shelved as his management decided to bring forward his tour dates to November 2008, leaving the group unable to complete these dates due to other commitments. Instead, the group will now tour alone. Nicole Scherzinger said that it was a "shame it couldn't happen, but his record company wanted the tour closer to his album release. He's in Europe in November, we weren't planning on touring overseas until March or April, so that we could spend more time putting a few singles out first. It's a real blow, because we had some amazing ideas for what we could do together." She also stated that the group were already in rehersals for the tour.

On September 16 2008, whilst recording an interview for UK radio station Kiss 100 FM the group confirmed that the tour would begin in late January in Europe, before viaiting Asia and America in the Summer. It will visit London on February 19 2009 at the O2 Arena. On the same day, the Manchester Evening News confirmed that the group would play the Manchester Evening News Arena on February 10 and February 11 2009. Other UK dates are scheduled to follow. Also on the same day, whilst being interviewed on Capital FM, Melody commented on working with Missy Elliott, adding "...she did say she wanted to join us on tour and we begin in January. So Missy, you'd better be there!" It is unclear whether Missy will accompany the group on tour.
