How America celebrated and mourned Dolly Parton, in Nashville and beyond
The great Dolly Parton died earlier this week and tributes have poured in from across the country. Fans are mourning the loss of a country music icon who not only changed the musical landscape but gave back to communities with her Imagination Library program and donations to develop the Moderna COVID vaccine.
Dolly Parton's music has made a triumphant return to the Irish charts following her passing at the age of 80. Her songs Jolene, Islands in the Stream, and Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection have re-entered the Top 30 and Top 10, respectively. The renewed interest in her music comes after Parton's death on Tuesday.
In the singles chart, Sam Fender and Olivia Dean continue to lead with Rein Me In, while Irish acts hold the remaining top places. On the albums chart, The Weeknd's The Highlights reclaimed the number one spot, while Amble and Kingfishr also secured high positions.
