=== ''Making the Band 3'' ===
In 2004, producer [[Sean Combs]] returned with ''Making the Band 3'', this time searching for the next female super group. With the help of choreographer [[Laurie Ann Gibson]], vocal trainer [[Doc Holiday]] and talent manager [[Johnny Wright (music manager)|Johnny Wright]] himself he set out on a multi-city search and found 20 young singers. While seven girls remained, Diddy grew more and more unhappy with the level of talent throughout the season, and eventually decided not to form a band. He did however give a reprieve to three contestants who he felt deserved another chance, including Aubrey O'Day and Aundrea Fimbres, who all appear on the fourth season.

Afterwards Diddy once again kicked his team across the table to audition new girls for the group. Finally twenty girls were chosen and moved into a loft in [[New York City]]. After weeks of dance and singing lessons, promotional appearances, and a performance in front of 10,000 at a [[Backstreet Boys]] concert at [[Nissan Pavilion]] in Bristow, VA, eleven girls remained. The finalists were sent home for three months, told to polish up, and return for the final stretch in November 2005.

On the second season's finale on Monday, November 15, 2005, five of the eleven were chosen: [[Aubrey O'Day]], [[D. Woods|Wanita Woodgette]], [[Shannon Bex]], [[Dawn Angelique Richard]], and [[Aundrea Fimbres]]. The final five members of the group in place, ''Making the Band 3'' tracked the development and struggles of the new band - from then on known as ''Danity Kane'' (a name taken from a female [[anime]] superhero drawn by Dawn).<ref>

After months of recording the band's debut album, ''[[Danity Kane (album)|Danity Kane]]'', was released to mixed reviews on August 22, 2006 in the [[United States]]. Produced by [[Timbaland]], [[Scott Storch]], [[Rodney Jerkins]], [[Mario Winans]] and [[Ryan Leslie]] among others, the album sold over 90,000 copies in the first day of release, and over 234,000 in the first week of release.<ref name="VH1-1">{{cite web|title="Outkast Take A Billboard Beating From Diddy's Danity Kane"|work=VH1 News|url=http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1539767/20060830/kane__danity.jhtml|accessdate=2007-08-19}}</ref> It eventually debuted at number one on the [[Billboard 200|U.S. ''Billbioard'' 200]] albums chart, knocking veteran [[Christina Aguilera]]'s ''[[Back to Basics (Christina Aguilera album)|Back to Basics]]'' from the top spot and out-selling hip-hop duo [[OutKast]].<ref name="VH1-1">{{cite web|title="Outkast Take A Run Beating From Diddy's Danity Kane"|work=VH1 News|url=http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1539767/20060830/kane__danity.jhtml|accessdate=2007-08-19}}</ref> The album received a [[platinum album|platinum certification]] from the [[RIAA]] in November 2006.<ref name="BB-1">{{cite web|title=RIAA Certifictaions|work=Billboard|url=http://billboard.com/bbcom/riaa/index.jsp|accessdate=2007-08-19}}</ref>
The album's lead and title single "[[Show Stopper]]", produced by Jim Jonsin, was serviced to radio on August 4, 2006, and subsequently debuted at number 17 on [[Billboard]]'s [[Hot 100]]; it however peaked at number 8 on that particular chart.<ref>[http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/retrieve_chart_history.do?model.vnuArtistId=770321&model.vnuAlbumId=788732 Billboard.com - Artist Chart History - Danity Kane<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Outside the United States, the song became a top 30 success in [[Germany]] and [[Lithuania]]. The selection for the album's second single, [[Bryan Michael Cox]] produced "[[Ride for You]]", was influenced by a fan poll that went around through e-mails, [[MySpace]], and the group's official web site. The music video for the song premiered on [[MTV]]'s ''[[Total Request Live]]'' on December 5, 2006, the same day the band released a holiday song called "[[Home for Christmas (Danity Kane song)|Home for Christmas]]" which was written by group member [[Dawn Angelique Richard|Dawn Richard]].<ref name="RU-1">{{cite web|title="D.

Between February 2007 to May 2007 Danity Kane performed as an opening act, along with the [[Pussycat Dolls]], on [[Christina Aguilera]]'s ''[[Back To Basics Tour]]''. In the meantime the band intensified work on their second album, which was initially scheduled for a late 2007 release, but eventually pushed back to 2008.<ref name="Billbiard">{{cite web | title="Danity Kane Keeping The 'Show' Going On New CD"| work=billboard| url=http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003566049| accessdate=2007-04-02}}</ref><ref name="Billbiard">{{cite web | title="Danity Kane Keeping The 'Show' Going On New CD"| work=billboard| url=http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003566049| accessdate=2007-04-02}}</ref>

=== ''Welcome to the Dollhouse'' ===
While making several solo appearances on other artist's albums during fall 2007, Danity Kane was featured on the second season of the fourth iteration of ''Making the Band'' which debuted January 28, 2008 on [[MTV]], where solo singer [[Donnie Klang]], [[Day26]], and the girls, lived and recorded their albums together.

"[[Damaged (Danity Kane song)|Damaged]]," the band's poll-voted [[lead single]] off of their second album ''[[Welcome to the Dollhouse (album)|Welcome to the Dollhouse]]'' was officially released as a digital single on January 29, and became the band's second top ten hit on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Its [[music video]] had been nominated for an [[MTV Video Music Award]] for "Best Pop Video" and "Best Dancing in a Video" but lost to [[Piece of Me]] by [[Britney Spears]] and [[When I Grow Up]] by [[the Pussycat Dolls]] respectively. ''Welcome to the Dollhouse'', was eventually released on March 18, 2008 in the United States, where it debuted at number-one of the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], with first week sales of 236,000 copies (2,000 units more than their [[Danity Kane (album)|self-titled debut album]]).<ref name="eleven">{{cite news|author=Katy Hasty|title="Danity Kane Snags Second Straight No. 1 Album"|url=http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003741823|publisher=Billboard|date=2008-03-26|accessdate=2008-03-26}}</ref> The album eventually received a [[gold album|gold certification]] from the [[RIAA]] in April 2008.

===''Untitled Third Studio Album & Other Projects''===

In October 2008, they entered the studio to start recording their third studio album, scheduled to be released in 2009.<ref>http://dawnrichard.org/displayimage.php?album=334&pos=0</ref> In the meantime, Danity Kane has released a line of denim jeans through Dollhouse.

== Rumors of Breakup ==

Ever since the creation of the group in 2005, Danity Kane has been plagued by rumors of the group's demise for a number of different reasons. Largely because of the group's origin and the reality show which showcases problems within the group, their management, record label, and mentor, the group has been expected to go their separate ways.

In the summer of 2007, during a hiatus between their first and second albums, speculation by fans and the media circled the internet and entertainment news outlets concerning the possibility of Danity Kane splitting up. The rumors were fueled by quotes taken out of context (most notably when [[Aubrey O'Day]] was questioned by [[TMZ.com|TMZ]]<ref name="Ishmil">{{cite web | title="Aubrey ditch's Danity for Dolls?"| work=TMZ| url=http://www.tmz.com/2007/07/11/is-aubrey-ditching-danity-for-the-dolls| accessdate=2007-07-13}}</ref> about her relationship to the successful pop girl group the [[Pussycat Dolls]] and their television show ''[[Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll]]''<ref>[http://www.rap-up.com/?p=3057 Rap-Up.com:// google me, baby » Blog Archive » Aubrey O’Day to Join The Pussycat Dolls?<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>) and by work the group members have done outside of Danity Kane since the release of their debut album. [[D. Woods]]' association with another girl group, The Girl's Club, was specifically cited as adding credibility to break-up rumors. Additionally, reports of solo careers and of new groups forming from various combinations of members of the group were rampant. Over the course of these rumors, the members of Danity Kane often published personal online responses to the break-up speculation.<ref>[http://aubreyoday.us/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1184312211&archive=&start_from=&ucat=7,12& AubreyOday.us | Celebrating our one year online<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://aubreyoday.us/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1184273733&archive=&start_from=&ucat=1& AubreyOday.us | Celebrating our one year online<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://aubreyoday.us/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1184341489&archive=&start_from=&ucat=1& AubreyOday.us | Celebrating our one year online<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://aubreyoday.us AubreyOday.us | Celebrating our one year online<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> It was not until July 25, 2007 that Danity Kane released an official statement on their group [[MySpace]] page stating that they were still together and working on their second album.

After the [[Making the Band Tour]] and the release of the first single [[Damaged]], Danity Kane has once again encountered rumors of a break-up. Largely spurred by scenes from the ''Making the Band'' series featuring their mentor [[Sean Combs]] sparring with O'Day over her increasingly poor dance performance and desire to create her own image separate from the group<ref>{{cite web | title="MTV's Making the Band"| work=MTV| url=http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/making_the_band_4/episode/episode.jhtml?episodeId=141813
}}</ref>. However, with O'Day forgoing promotional appearances with the group to appear as [[Amber Von Tussle]] on Broadway's [[Hairspray]], many have speculated that O'Day's role in the group had been marginalized. However, on September 7, 2008, the group appeared together at the [[MTV Video Music Awards]] to help present the Best New Artist Award.<ref>{{cite web | title="MTV Viewers Have Spoken With Three Moonmen"| work=Market Watch| url=http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/mtv-viewers-have-spoken-britney/story.aspx?guid=%7B7C3F4201-D048-4B9D-94CB-18EDD3264146%7D&dist=hppr
}}</ref>

Separately, tension also seems to be developing in the group as Richard may perhaps be groomed to launch her own solo career with [[Bad Boy Records]]. Rumors had been circulating that Richard was been flown from Baltimore to New York for private meetings with Combs to launch her own solo career, especially after three tracks, which were purported to be Danity Kane tracks, but only featured Richard's vocals were leaked on the internet. Combs went as far as to introduce Richard in a solo performance in early September.<ref>{{cite web | title="Danity Kane Breakup!?!?"| work=Media Takeout| url=http://www.mediatakeout.com/26448/danity_kane_break_up_diddy_brings_out_dawn_to_do_a_solo_performance__without_the_rest_of_the_group_.html| accessdate=2008-09-13}}</ref> An [[Atlantic Records]] spokesperson responded, "At no point was Dawn flown anywhere to record solo or meet alone with Diddy. The girls are still very much together. They're going out to the Video Music Awards together ... and they're promoting their album ‘Welcome to the Dollhouse' and working on their third."<ref>{{cite web | title="Is Diddy raisin' Kane with Danity project?"| work=Rush and Malloy| url=http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2008/08/29/2008-08-29_is_diddy_raisin_kane_with_danity_project.html| accessdate=2008-09-13}}</ref> Richard is working on her own comic book based on the character she created which carries the group's name.<ref>{{cite web | title="Danity Kane's MTV fame reels in marketers"| work=Reuters| url=http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSN0935132820080910| accessdate=2008-09-13}}</ref>.
