About the Albums

Cheetah-licious Christmas

In 2004, The Cheetah Girls became a real group, instead of an on-screen group and recorded a song for Disneymania 3. After the release of the Disneymania single, they began to record their first Christmas album in early 2005 for Walt Disney Records.

They finished recording in mid-2005 and the album was mixed. A release date was then set for October 11, 2005.

On November 11, 2005, the girls released their headliner single and the album's tite track, Cheetah-licious Christmas. The music video was not released into mainstream charts, but instead was shown only on the Disney Channel during the holiday times only. The song did not chart on any mainstream chart and did not do extremely well on Radio Disney, not charting anywhere. However, the album peaked at #74 during its release in the 2005 holiday season.

On December 12, 2005, the album's second single, a radio-only single at that, Five More Days 'Til Christmas was released to Radio Disney. This single was supposed to attract more attention to the album and the group itself, however, it failed to make the cut, and chart anywhere, again not even Radio Disney. After the single's flop, the concert tour was almost cancelled mid-way through, but it had already begun making money for Walt Disney Records so the tour continued. The planned music video for Five More Days 'Til Christmas was never made because of touring and no concert was ever filmed by professionals.

In 2006, after two holiday seasons, the album has sold over 300,000 copies failing to even go Gold.Fact|date=August 2008 However, during the holiday season of 2006 the album started to sell again, but ultimately failed to chart. The singles also again received minor airplay on Radio Disney.

In Concert: The Party's Just Begun Tour

Because of the enormous response to the first tour with The Cheetah Girls, Disney expanded the second tour from the original 40 dates to 60 and then again to 80 and once more to 83. Kiely Williams herself called it "the never ending tour". [Interview with Martha Stewart on Martha which aired 2006-10-31] The tour was one of the most successful tours for Disney with the finale of the tour selling 80,000 tickets in less than 3 minutes.Fact|date=August 2008 So, The Cheetah Girls, much like the cast of High School Musical, recorded songs live at a concert performance in California. The CD was released along with a DVD, also like . This marks the Girls' first live album. The CD/DVD combo was released on July 10, 2007. This album also marked the girls' second, and final album on the Walt Disney Records label before making the move to Hollywood Records to record an official first studio album.

The CD includes songs from The Cheetah Girls 2 soundtrack as well as The first Cheetah Girls soundtrack and other soundtracks the Girls have done over the years. The track "Falling For You" is also included on the album.

The Cheetah Girls have been working on their official debut album since January, 2006. However, when filming and recording for "The Cheetah Girls 2" came up, the album was put on hold. "We'll be making a real album, not a soundtrack", Adrienne Bailon from Camp Rock and Phineas and Doug said. "Some of the music on there will be produced by will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas", she says. "It's important for people to see us as a real musical group. We have all this great marketing around us, with the movies and other things. But we are a musical group."Citequote|date=August 2008
