Dolly Parton Achieves First U.K. No. 1 with '9 To 5'

Dolly Parton is on track to secure her inaugural No. 1 position on the Official U.K. Singles Chart with her signature song, "9 To 5." The 1980 hit, penned for the film of the same name, has seen an extraordinary 350% increase in streams and sales in the past week.

This posthumous success also sees other beloved Parton tracks climbing the charts. "Jolene," originally released in 1973, is currently positioned at No. 2, while her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers, "Islands in the Stream," is charting at No. 6.

Parton, a celebrated singer, songwriter, and philanthropist, passed away recently in Nashville at the age of 80 following a battle with cancer. Her significant contributions to music were recognized in 2024 when Billboard named her the top country artist of all time.

Her album "Rockstar," released in 2023 and featuring collaborations with major artists like Paul McCartney and Elton John, reached a career-high of No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart. This achievement underscores her lasting impact on the music industry across multiple decades.
