All the comments are just about Nicole having the lead in every single song--if people particularly cared about whether the background singers get a chance or not, then PCD wouldn't have been a hit back in 2005 and 'When I Grow Up' would not have peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The first album was much based on the success of singles, and it is entirely clear that Interscope is willing to release seven, eight singles like they did last time, and promote the hell out of them, to get this thing to sell.

Not to mention the fact that Danity Kane barely made an impact outside of the US & Canada, while PCD clearly has worldwide appeal in the UK, Australia/New Zealand, Canada, and across Europe.

Some singles on this album are extremely hot. If you'll remember, "Stickwitu" and "Buttons" were more successful than "Don't Cha", so I think "I Hate This Part", "Magic", and "Elevator" have the ability to ramp up sales later on.
