A <a href=\"https:\/\/mymerrychristmas.com\/x\/celebrating-20-years-of-the-merry-forums\/\">Christmas<\/a> television special more or less concedes that their new album will go platinum, just as the last one did. <\/p>\n<p>This could put the group in pretty rare company in terms of legendary <a href=\"https:\/\/mymerrychristmas.com\/x\/celebrating-20-years-of-the-merry-forums\/\">Christmas<\/a> performers. They could well represent the Andy Williams\/Bing Crosby-type ownership of <a href=\"https:\/\/mymerrychristmas.com\/x\/celebrating-20-years-of-the-merry-forums\/\">Christmas<\/a> for the Millennial generation. <\/p>\n<p>Many, including Mariah Carey, and Michael Buble &#8212; and Blake Shelton &#8212; have laid claim to the title. But none have matched the <a href=\"https:\/\/mymerrychristmas.com\/x\/celebrating-20-years-of-the-merry-forums\/\">Christmas<\/a> successes of Pentatonix of the past four years. <\/p>\n<p>But the <a href=\"https:\/\/mymerrychristmas.com\/x\/celebrating-20-years-of-the-merry-forums\/\">Christmas<\/a> hits just keep on coming for Pentatonix. Last week&#8217;s release of Hallelujah is on pace to match or beat the success of this rendition of Little Drummer Boy from three years ago: <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qJ_MGWio-vc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The news was just announced that ultra-hot vocal group Pentatonix will now be featured on an upcoming NBC Christmas television special.
