After so many years in the business, it’s not surprising Dolly Parton has broken a record or two. 10 Guinness World Records, though? Now that’s an achievement we weren’t expecting.
Parton’s the Guinness World Record holder for having a top 20 song on the US Hot Country Songs chart in the most decades, having the most number ones on the US Hot Country Songs chart by a woman, being the female artist who has spanned the most decades on the US Hot Country Songs chart, and being the woman with the most songs chart on the US Hot Country Songs chart. But that’s not all. Parton also boats the longest span of number one songs on the US Hot Country Songs chart and the US Top Country Albums chart for a female artist, as well as the most studio albums released by a female country singer. Plus, Parton’s also the woman with the most top 10 entries on the US Top Country Albums chart, and is also the first country singer to be nominated for an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and a Tony — a quartet of awards collectively known as an EGOT. She also has the most Grammy nominations of any female country artist ever.
It’s not just Parton setting the records, though. There’s also a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as this country queen. In 2023, a record-making 959 people wore Parton-inspired outfits at a gathering in Ireland.
