Pentatonix has just released their second album PTX Volume 2.  The new recording will feature 8 brand new tracks, including 3 original songs, 4 covers and a modern twist on the classic “Hit The Road Jack”.  A special iTunes release features a 7-song Daft Punk medley, its video just released via the group’s YouTube Channel, as well as a mash-up of Swedish House Mafia hits “Save The World” and “Don’t Worry Child” as an album-only bonus track.

Pentatonix recently won the YouTube Music Award in the “Response of The Year” category for their cover of “Radioactive” alongside Lindsey Stirling.  The video has garnered almost 45 million views.  Online,Pentatonix’s YouTube channel boasts almost 160 million views, buoyed by nearly 1.9 Million subscribers, and is one of the Top 100 most subscribed-to music channels.
