Pentatonix has won three Grammy Awards, including one for the Daft Punk piece which was given the Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella award in 2015. The group was awarded in the same category in 2016 for their arrangement of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and won Best Country Duo/Group Performance in 2017 for a cover of the song Jolene with Dolly Parton.
