Kirstie Maldonado has another holiday hit on her hands…
The 24-year-old half-Mexican, part Spanish-American singer and her fellow Pentatonix members’ latest album, A Pentatonix Christmas, debuts at No. 3 on the new Billboard 200 album chart.
Pentatonix’s new album registered 60,000 units (52,000 in traditional album sales).
The set marks the sixth top 10 for the act and third holiday album to reach the list (following That’s Christmas to Me in 2014, which peaked at No. 2, and the PTXmas EP in 2013, which peaked at No. 7).
A Pentatonix Christmas also starts at No. 1 on the Holiday Albums chart, the second leader for the group on that tally, after That’s Christmas to Me.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new November 12-dated chart will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, November 1.
