    Also, Kevin. Being Kevin. Similar to his "So Money" podcast. Very, very interesting. No words can describe this man. Deserves everything.

    Irrespective of their part in the BeeGees tribute, do we know if PTX will make an appearance during the prime time GRAMMY telecast? They may be in the audience but I don't know if they'll get to go on stage. Their nomination with Dolly is for something that won't be televised?

    Some insiders think PTX might be 'lending their pipes' for the night. They have been well received after last years appearance and on other awards shows.

  3. #1 for the second week in a row!!!

    Been following HitsDD numbers which updates its chart every Friday. This is its tenth week on the charts and APC has sold approximately 1,029,126M.  

    "Pentatonix is the first a cappella act to top the Artist 100, as well as the first pop group to reign in more than two years, since Maroon 5." - Billboard | Thought 1D would have taken that mantle at some point...

    Hello #1?  (Billboard style) -- at least predicted

    http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7632337/pentatonix-christmas-album-heading-number-1-billboard-200

    One thing that's significant to me is that IMO it's much harder to debut lower and later gain #1 than simply hitting it your first week out.

    Probably been a while since that has happened. Last artist to not debut #1 and then achieve it weeks later?

    What a cool achievement including this one...

    "Pentatonix is the first act to chart a pair of albums concurrently in the top five since Prince on the May 21-dated chart, following an outpouring of support for his music following his death on April 21. Previous to Prince, both David Bowie and Whitney Houston also scored the feat, in 2016 and 2012, respectively -- but again, only after their deaths. The last living act to notch a pair of albums in the top five at the same time was Adele on the March 3, 2012-dated chart." - Billboard

    I don't get how it could be platinum already--ptxnewsandstuff has been keeping pretty good tabs on the ongoing numbers, and they had it just going gold this week.

    Lol. Yeah. They must be pretty confident it will go platinum by the year's end. The Xmas special certainly boosts its numbers.

    Trying to get it up on Youtube somehow for fans who couldn't see it. It really was amazing to see them have their own freaking show. Wonder what its ratings will be like.

    Even though that commercial makes it look like it's just them, an earlier one gives the impression it's some kind of multi-artist tribute to Dolly. 

    I'm betting they use PTX and "Jolene" as a tent pole for the tribute, then spin off into other songs sung by other artists, then have some grand finale with everyone on stage (possibly including Dolly--I suppose it depends on if its the kind of tribute which includes the artist, or the kind where it doesn't). 

    You are correct! PTX with the Leading Ladies of Country Music.

    It's interesting because it follows a weird pattern: Fox Football used PTX first (admittedly for a one off).

    Then again, NBC (due to The Sing-Off tie in and no doubt some lingering contracts) has always used Pentatonix more than anyone else.

    Someone within the NFL must like PTX as an artist to use... So many other artists to pitch an yet PTX.

    Lol. It's probably just a coincidence.

  8. Loved it!!! Gold was my summer jam. Never thought they would've covered it. The song was made for Mitch, he freaking sang that weird disjointed chorus, the whole arrangement is insane. So chill. It's on the very top of my favorite covers.

    Seriously, this group is so under appreciated in the industry. 

    Looking forward to SF & Xmas album next week. Also, if anyone is interested, someone who went to their special xmas taping grabbed audio of Hallelujah*. Tempted to listen but I'm trying and will probably fail in holding off.

    *Edit: Lol. Doesn't matter anyway, taken down. People always find a way to get around the rules.

  9. "The album will feature a combination of classic holiday tracks, modern favorites and some original music penned by the group." - Press Release

    It does release the same week as Gaga and Buble but it's an Xmas album. Will do well deep into the holiday season which could see it end up as #1 on Billboard 200.

    Dolly collab is doing very well on the iTunes chart. May we see another appearance by PTX at the CMA's? Their schedule is free... Sad to some people and a former member of SNC bagging Dolly about collabing with PTX. It's a business. Artists collab with each other all the time. She's promoting her new album, PTX has their tour and its Cracker Barrels 2 spotlight artists. Its not like the arrangements are identical.
