Dolly Parton's death has united Americans in grief, leading to a surge in her music's streaming popularity. The legendary singer passed away on Aug. 25 at the age of 80. As fans mourned the loss of the beloved entertainer, they also revisited her iconic 1980 film debut "9 to 5," which soared to the top of the linear television charts.

ABC aired the comedy in its Sunday night slot shortly after Parton's passing, allowing viewers to honor her memory one final time. The publication The Wrap compiled data on the most-watched movies and television series from the previous week, using viewership trends collected from a panel of over 3 million households. On streaming platforms, "Reacher," an Amazon Prime Video series in its fourth season, topped the chart for the third week in a row.

"Death of the Pastor's Wife," a Netflix true-crime documentary, claimed the second spot, delving into the mysterious death of Mica Miller, the wife of pastor John-Paul Miller. "The Whisper Man," a crime thriller released on Netflix, held the third position. Jessica Biel starred as a detective investigating a missing son, with Robert De Niro playing her father, who previously solved a similar case.

"Lanterns," an HBO Max superhero series, dropped two spots to fourth place. "Ted Lasso," "Special Ops: Lioness," "Outer Banks," "Beauty in Black," and "Facing El Chapo" also experienced a drop in viewership on their respective streaming platforms. Meanwhile, "America's Got Talent" and "Wheel of Fortune" maintained their top five positions in the linear television charts.
