Pentatonix Q&A: Why a No. 1 Album Would Be 'The Biggest Thing We've Done So Far'

FUSE TV - Pentatonix Q&A: Why a No. 1 Album Would Be 'The Biggest Thing We've Done So Far'

Pentatonix are on the verge of making history with their first non-covers LP: the self-titled set is currently battling to be the No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with fellow pop force Demi Lovato. If the vocal quintet can pull off a chart-topper, it would mark a huge moment for a cappella and a major victory for the self-described "underdogs."

In the midst of Pentatonix's chart battle, Fuse talked to Avi Kaplan, the group's key bass voice (a.k.a. the dude holding down all the looow notes), about the new LP, some key tracks, their feelings about Demi and whether or not a certain Taylor Swift romance inspired one of their new tracks. 

Read on for our interview with Avi and stream Pentatonix below while you're reading.
