Pentatonix has hit the top 10 five times with holiday releases, including last year’s The Best of Pentatonix Christmas. In addition to past recordings, it featured four new tracks, including one — “Do You Hear What I Hear” — that incorporated a vocal recording by the late Whitney Houston.
The current Pentatonix album is an EP called At Home, featuring covers of hits by The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, The Cranberries, Billie Eilish and more.
