Will Fifth Harmony reach Pussycat Dolls level of success or nah?

Nø.

What does reaching PCD status even mean? They were like a fake-phenom.

They're too teen. The will like have that teen feeling like Selena, Demo, Ariana imo.

They will be lucky if they ever reach LM status tbh

nice try

PCD had a status?

I guess?
PCD never felt like a phenom. And neither will 5H.
At least all the girls in 5H sing right? PCD was really just nicole sherzinger with some random hot chicks in the background.

They definitely felt like a phenomenon for the PCD era. 1 era wonders tbf

Nope.

I don't think they'll ever be as big as PCD, but if they stay together for a third album, I can see them getting close. That's a big "if" though

They've already had two worldwide Top 10s. One album that does decently well and one or two more worldwide hits should at least be enough to meet the definition of "coming close".

maybe to pop stans?
I was in high school at the time, I remember their singles for sure but they were like how 5H is now. popular but on the sideline.
