Before the airing of the series premiere of the show, the girls were already
chosen for "Girlicious" and had started recording their debut album in late 2007. Originally the group
was to be a trio, but was conceived as a quartet through a final
decision of creator Robin Antin on the show's season finale. Thus
far, they have received greater attention and major success from
Canadian audiences, receiving platinum certification in Canada
for their debut album Girlicious. The album peaked at number 2
on the Canadian Albums Chart. The group was nominated at the Teen
Choice Awards for "Breakout Group" of the year, and Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious was nominated for "Reality: Music Competition" in 2008.[2] It was confirmed on June 11, 2009, via a YouTube
video upload from Anderson’s official YouTube channel, that she
was no longer a member of Girlicious. In the video, Anderson cites
changes with their new record label and sound, stating: "Robin Antin and the label were looking for a new direction for the group" ... "they were looking for the group to not be [urban] any longer". She also speaks of personal differences between some of the girls, saying the
group was not seeing eye-to-eye on a lot of things: "a couple of the girls and I didn't have the same values or the same morals -
causing a huge conflict in the end of it all." [3] On Sunday, June 21, 2009 Girlicious appeared live at the 2009 MuchMusic
Video Awards in Toronto, Canada as nominees and presenters. The
group won the award for "Most Watched Video" for "Like Me". Their video for "Stupid Shit" came in at second place. In 2009, the group went into the studio to start
recording music for their second studio album. In December 2009
the group announced they had moved from Geffen Records and that
they had signed a record deal with Universal Music Canada. The
sound for the album will go in a more "Pop" direction, and further away from the Hip-Hop/R&B sound featured on their first album.[3] The group's first single titled "Over You", was sent to Canadian radio stations on December 25, 2009. The song was released
to Canadian iTunes on January 5, 2010.[4] The song peaked at #57
on The Hits Charts (Airplay): Top 100 Singles and #52 on Canadian
Hot 100 [5] The group's second single titled "Maniac" was released to Canadian iTunes on April 6, 2010.[6] The Music Video was shot
on April 6 in LA at an abandoned hospital.[7] It peaked as #72
on the Canadian Hot 100 chart. The girls are featured on the Jersey
Shore soundtrack, with a song titled "Drank". On August 31, 2010 the girls released their third single titled "2 In the Morning".[8] It made a Hot Shot Debut on the Canada Hot 100 reaching #57. The song then
moved up 5 places to #52 on the week of 16 September. Then, on
the week of November 13, 2010, the song reached its peak at number
35.[9] Their second album, Rebuilt, was released on November 22
in Canada reaching #5 on the pop album chart.[10] On February 26, 2011 the group confirmed the exit of Sayers and Mejia via their Facebook & Twitter accounts. It has been stated that Cordova is still part of the group and very much ready to get on with the future of Girlicious.[11] After the departure of the girls, "Hate Love" was released as the Rebuilt's fourth single. The song debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 at number 97 on the week of April 2, 2011. On the week of April 30, 2011, the song reached its peak at number 59 while also reaching number 19 on the Canadian Top 40. Cordova is set to perform with Carmen Electra
and the Pussycat Dolls burlesque review on June 17, 2011.[12] Girlicious (2008) [edit] Tours 2008–2009: The Girlicious Tour As opening act 2008: The Unbreakable Tour: Backstreet Boys (Opening act for Leg 1.) 2009: The Circus Starring Britney Spears: Britney
