The Pussycat Dolls were the brainchild of Robin Antin, who formed the original group in 1995 as a modern burlesque troupe, by 2003, with a revised lineup they signed a record deal. Although they have only ever released two studio Albums, they are the forth best selling ‘girl group’ of all time, with sales in excess of 55 million.

‘Don’t Cha’ was co-written, and produced by CeeLo Green (see also best songs 174,) it heavily samples the song ‘Swass’ by the Rap artist Sir Mix-a-Lot from 1988, therefore giving him co-writing credits.The original version of the song was recorded by R&B singer Tori Alamaze, a former backing singer with the Hip-Hop group Outkast, but after the song failed to chart it was offered to The Pussycat Dolls, and with the aid of Busta Rhymes (see also best songs 210 and 675) adding his part, the song went on to top the charts in 15 countries.Nicole Scherzinger said she did most of the singing ‘On my own,’ for the debut Album ‘PCD.’ I finished the Album, and the girls came in to the studio, and we played it for them, it was the first time they’d ever heard the songs, do you understand what I’m saying?’
