Dolly Parton Returns to Hot Country Songs Top 10 With These 2 Hits
The late legend lands six titles on Hot Country Songs and three on Top Country Albums.
Dolly Parton has reclaimed her spot in the top 10 of Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, with her hits "Jolene" and "9 to 5" re-entering at No. 7 and No. 8, respectively, for the week ending Sept. 5, 2022. The chart data shows "Jolene," Parton's 1974 chart-topper, amassed 10.2 million official U.S. streams, 6.2 million in radio airplay, and 15,000 sold during its week of availability, marking a 583% increase week-over-week.
Similarly, "9 to 5," the 1981 anthem that introduced Parton's powerful voice, recorded 9.5 million streams, 7.2 million radio audience plays, and 14,000 sales during its week in the chart. Four additional Parton tracks continued their streak in the top 30: "Islands in the Stream" (1983), "I Will Always Love You" (1974), "Here You Come Again" (1977), and "Coat of Many Colors" (1971).
Only "Coat of Many Colors," a No. 4 hit in its debut, secured a top-10 finish this time around. The resurgence of Parton's presence in the top 10 spans more than 20 years, extending her 58-year, 7-month tenure in the chart to its highest point since her initial ranking with "The Last Thing on My Mind" back in 1968.
