It’s that time of the year where A Capella group Pentatonix climbs the charts. The group is back with their 10th top 10 album on the Billboard 200 chart. Their latest release, The Best of Pentatonix Christmas jumps from 18 to 8 in its sixth week on the chart. This compilation of hits from the ground was released via RCA Records on October 25th.  The Billboard 200 album chart ranks the most popular albums of the week. Rankings are created using multi-metric consumption measured in equivalent album units. These units are made up of streaming equivalent albums, track equivalent albums, and traditional album sales. Most noteworthy, the A Capella sensation’s latest album has earned 43,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. These numbers are reported according to Nielsen Music. “The Best of…” is a collection of favorites from the group’s previous four Christmas albums. Additionally, there are four new songs added to the set.

Of the latest tracks from the compilation, there is a collaboration with the great late Whitney Houston. The track “Do You Hear What I Hear” is credited to Pentatonix featuring Whitney.
