((The Cheetah Girls (group)))

Added information and source about creation of music group, restructured paragraphs:

The Cheetah Girls had a television movie, based on a best-selling series of young adult books of the same name by Deborah Gregory, which debuted on August 15, 2003. The movie's DVD sold over 800,000 copies. The film received over 84 million viewers worldwide and remained a hit in the ratings for months afterwards. Though there had been no contractual plans to record as an actual music group, producer Debra Martin Chase was able to convince Disney to create new contracts and release the film's music as a soundtrack. The CD was a surprise success despite not having been promoted. Due to her busy schedule, as well as already being signed to the same label (Hollywood Records) as a solo act, Raven-Symoné decided not to be a part of the recording act and only participated in the films, leaving the trio of just Bailon, Bryan and Williams.

The Cheetah Girls was also supposed to be adapted into a TV series for ABC in their 2004–2005 season. ABC began to put the show into production in early 2004, according to an article on the MTV news site. A later article, published in February of 2004, states that The Cheetah Girls sitcom was delayed due to the success of That's So Raven. The article stated that because of this success Raven would not be able to do the sitcom. After shooting a pilot episode in late 2003, ABC did not pick up the series.
