PCD is the debut album by American girl group the Pussycat Dolls, released by A&M Records on September 13, 2005 in the United States. The majority of the album was produced by Ron Fair and Tal Herzberg with other producers including Timbaland, Cee-Lo Green, will.i.am, and Rich Harrison, amongst others, and incorporates a mixture of contemporary pop/dance/R&B originals, jazz-influenced tracks, and cover versions. The album was a commercial success, and has gone on to sell over six million units worldwide,[1] spawning seven singles. The group toured with Gwen Stefani and have cited, among their influences, Stefani, Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul and M.I.A. who they described as "the most righteous chick - she stands for so much that we really stand for."[2]

The album ended 2006 as the twenty-eighth best-selling album in the United Kingdom, with sales of 536,340 copies,[3] in 2006 and 574,000 in 2005, for combined sales of over 1.1 million in the UK and as the sixteenth best selling album in the Netherlands.[4]
