A cappella group Pentatonix moved into 3rd place on the Billboard 200 with "That's Christmas To Me." British boy band One Direction slipped to No. 4 with "Made in the A.M." and Taylor Swift's 2014 best-seller "1989" re-entered the Top 10 at No. 5 with another 60,000 copies sold over the week.

The Billboard 200 chart tallies units from album sales, song sales (10 songs equal one album) and streaming activity (1,500 streams equal one album).
