Pentatonix formed in 2011 and came to prominence the same year by winning the third season of "The Sing-Off" on NBC, their victory earning them $200,000 and a recording contract with Sony. Their debut EP "PTX, Volume 1" was released in 2012, followed by "PTXmas" the same year, with their third release "PTX, Vol. II", debuting at number 1 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart in 2013. 2014 saw the release of "PTX, Vol. III", and their two first full-length albums "PTX, Vols. 1 & 2" (a compilation of Vol. 1 and Vol. II) and "That's Christmas to Me". Their second holiday release, That's Christmas to Me, with the album certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), platinum on December 24, 2014, and double platinum on February 11, 2016, becoming the highest-charting holiday album by a group since 1962, and the fourth-best-selling album in the United States in 2014. The following year, Pentatonix released their album, their first consisting mostly of original material, which debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart for the first time in their career, followed by a third Christmas album, A Pentatonix Christmas, in 2016, and a new EP, PTX, Vol. IV – Classics, the following year. In May 2017, Kaplan announced that he would leave Pentatonix due to his inability to keep up with the touring demands of the group; he left after the completion of the tour in September, and was replaced by Matt Sallee the following month.
Pentatonix has won three Grammy Awards: they were the first a cappella act to win Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella, doing so in 2015 and 2016, and Best Country Duo/Group Performance in 2017.
Pentatonix started their popular YouTube channel back in 2012 to promote themselves after the Sing-Off (Season 3, 2011) when they were dropped by their record label, according to a recent November 2014 interview. They also made effective use of social media to interact with their fan base. They have eclipsed almost 15 million subscribers and more than 2.7 billion cumulative views. Their music video for "Daft Punk" recently surpassed 273 million views.

Away In a Manger
Pentatonix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La da da da da da, la da da da
Away in a manger, no crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay
La da da da da da, la da da da
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my side 'til morning is nigh
La da da da da da, la da da da da da
La da da da da da, la da da da
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me, I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And take us to Heaven to live with Thee there (with Thee there)
La da da da da da, la da da da da da
La da da da da da, la da da da
Away in a manger, no crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay
La da da da da da, la da da da da da
La da da da da da, la da da da
La da da da da da, la da da da da da
La da da da da da, la da da da
The lyrics to Pentatonix's "Away in a Manger" portray the story of baby Jesus being born and placed in a manger because there was no room for him in the inn. The first stanza describes the scene in which the little Lord Jesus lays down his head on a bed of hay. The stars in the sky look down on this miracle, and the singer repeats the line, "La da da da da da," adding to the serene and peaceful tone of the song.
In the second stanza, the cattle begin to low, and the baby Jesus wakes up. However, he does not cry, which shows the profound and holy nature of the child. The singer then expresses their love for the Lord Jesus and asks him to stay by their side until morning. The third stanza speaks directly to the Lord, asking him to be near and love the singer forever. The lyrics remind the listener of the purpose of Jesus's birth and ask for blessings for all children and a place in heaven.
The melody of the song is simple and calming, fitting the peaceful nature of the manger scene. The use of the repetitive "La da da da da da" gives the song a lullaby-like quality, emphasizing the peaceful night that the son of God was born into.

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love You, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
Until morning is nigh
Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask You to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
Bless all the dear children
In Your tender care
And fit us for heaven
To live with You there
