If you haven't been paying attention to the music scene lately, here's some big news: Pentatonix, the famous a capella group, just released their Christmas album on iTunes, Spotify, Google, and Amazon. After the success of their 2014 Christmas album, they're back again with something new and beautiful.

Pentatonix is an a capella group of five people, consisting of Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Avi Kaplan, and Kevin "K.O." Olusola.

Since their conception, they've become platinum recording artists, uploading their covers on YouTube to a wide and loving audience.

Their first Christmas album, That's Christmas to Me, blew the world by storm and sold almost two million copies, gaining the certification double platinum by the RIAA. The group, as well as having sold-out tours, have amassed multiple Grammy Awards. They just released one of the songs on their tracklist, "Hallelujah," on October 21, 2016. The video currently has 16 million views on YouTube.

They also recently covered Dolly Parton's "Jolene," which she sang with them. The group has 13 million views on this video, and nearly 2 billion on their YouTube channel, and their videos have been shared all over.
