Dolly Parton Trades One Top 10 Bestseller For Another

Dolly Parton proves her undeniable popularity once more on the U.K. charts this week. Last time around, the singer-songwriter claimed four top 10 on one album roster. This time around, she occupies the same number of spaces, but with a slightly altered roundup of wins, as it’s clear that fans in that nation never tire of listening to her biggest successes.

The legendary musician holds steady at No. 1 on the Official Country Compilations chart with The Very Best Of. That title manages its milestone seventieth week in first place on the list of the bestselling country compilations across the pond.

Two of Parton’s projects that landed inside the top 10 dip slightly but still manage to find space inside the highest half of the 20-spot roster. Diamonds & Rhinestones: Greatest Hits steps back from No. 3 to No. 4. At the same time, Smoky Mountain DNA: Faith, Family, and Fables slides from No. 7 to No. 10.

This week, Parton reappears inside the top 10 with one of her most commercially successful collaborative projects. The Complete Trio Collection, which is credited to her as well as Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, is back at No. 8 on the Official Country Compilations chart.

The Complete Trio Collection gathers together the pair of Trio albums that the three musicians recorded. Both were successful, and in recent years, the pairing of the two has also become a recurring win on this list.

Parton’s project with Harris and Ronstadt takes over from another one of the “Jolene” singer’s releases that disappears from the Official Country Compilations chart this week. Just a few days ago, The Monument Singles Collection 1964-1968 was comfortable once again at No. 6. This time around, it vanishes, but that’s not unusual for the title, and it likely won’t be gone for very long.

Parton claims the second-most appearances on this week’s Official Country Compilations chart. She’s beaten only by Johnny Cash, who ups his count from four to five as another one of his collections reappears.
