Don't Cha (promo)
The Pussycat Dolls featuring Busta Rhymes
iTunes/AAC/256 kbps

After what seemed to be a drought of girl-bands in the US market, out of nowhere appeared six pussycats in 2005.  "Don't Cha", is the debut single by American girl-group, The Pussycat Dolls.  The single was originally recorded and released by Tori Alamaze in 2004.  However, due to the lack of success of Alamaze's version, Alamaze sold the rights to Universal Music Group.  UMG at that time was trying to reinvent the girl-group and thought the song would suit the burlesque group turned pop act, The Pussycat Dolls.

With the girl's saucy style and edgy sound, "Don't Cha", became an instant radio hit and video hit for the Dolls.  "Don't Cha", peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed there for three consecutive weeks (Mariah Carey's single, "We Belong Together", kept the Dolls from reaching number one).  In addition to the Dolls US success, the single became an international hit, reaching number one in 15 different countries.

Below is the European promo maxi-single, which includes [some] the club mixes of the title track.

Note: The Main Mix (aka Album Version) and the More Booty Mix are slightly different.  The More Booty Mix contains a heavier beat, almost unnoticeable (unless you have a good pair of headphones).
