Dolly Parton, a member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, has been making hits for more than six decades, starting with her 1959 debut single, “Puppy Love.”
Over the years, her recordings lit up Advertising signcharts in various genres — specifically country, of course, but also bluegrass, CCM and rock. And of course, it was the East Tennessee native who brought to life “I Will Always Love You,” with which she had success as a solo artist (twice — once solo and once as a duet with Vince Gill), while the impressive Whitney Houston's version became an enduring pop classic.
As a recording artist, Parton has brought tender ballads and joyful uptempo tracks to the top of the charts, with solo appearances as well as enduring collaborations with artists such as Kenny Rogers, Billy Ray Cyrus and Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris (through her work in the established ones Trio album). Most recently, she turned her love of music towards classic rock with her album Rock starworking with legends like Paul McCartney and Elton John.
But over the decades, Parton has always made country music her musical heartbeat and home. So below, we're counting down Parton's greatest Advertising sign hits on the Hot Country Songs chart.
