- Dec 29, 2014
AceShowbiz - Pentatonix has made their name in music industry since winning the third season of NBC's "The Sing-Off". They first entered the Billboard 200 with their 2012 EP "PTX, Volume 1" which debuted and peaked at No. 14, but only two years later they reached new heights of success.
Just in time for this year's holiday season, the a cappella group from Arlington, Texas released "That's Christmas to Me", their second holiday release after their 2012 EP "PTXmas". The studio album debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 in October and subsequently climbed up the chart, peaking at No. 2.
Certified platinum on December 24, it is now the fourth-biggest selling album of the year, surpassing Beyonce Knowles' platinum edition of her 2013 self-titled effort. "That's Christmas to Me" additionally becomes the highest-charting Christmas album by a group or duo since Mitch Miller & The Gang topped the chart with "Holiday Sing Along With Mitch" in January 1962.
The holiday album has spawned several hits, including "Mary, Did You Know?" which topped the Holiday 100 in early December and peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100. During the holiday season, the five-piece dominated the Billboard Holiday Digital Songs chart with seven songs from their latest studio album.
Next on their slate is the North American leg of their "On My Way Home" tour, which begins February 25, 2015, in California and ends at Grand Prairie's Verizon Theatre on March 29. They will next head to Europe, with the first show of the leg scheduled for April 9 in Lisbon, Portugal.
