"A Pentatonix Christmas" is expected to rake more sales as the day that everyone is waiting for draws nearer. Releasing a successful seasonal title is not something new for Pentatonix. In 2014, the a cappella group sold 1.9 million of its first seasonal album called "That's Christmas to Me."
With the release of "A Pentatonix Christmas," the ranking of "That's Christmas to Me" dropped to No. 7 going No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart. Of the top 100 albums in the chart, 33 of them are all Christmas albums. Jobs & Hire previously reported that Adele and Justin Bieber reigned in the 2016 year-end charts.
"A Pentatonix Christmas" is one of the twelve albums that sold 500,000 in 2016. Could it mean that the group has a chance to become one of the most popular albums of the season, if not of the year? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
