When you think country music, the name Dolly Parton probably comes to mind. She’s been making music in the genre for decades, with many of her songs going on to become incredibly successful. Remember Jolene and 9 to 5? What about I Will Always Love You? The track may have become a global hit after Whitney Houston recorded it for The Bodyguard soundtrack, but it was Dolly’s song first.
All of these iconic tunes have helped her album sales go through the roof, with her total now standing at over 160,000,000 units across the globe. That’s a massive amount for a country singer, especially as the genre isn’t as popular outside of the United States. It’s no wonder Parton is still so loved and respected by both people in the industry and her adoring fans. Her career is something most of us would aspire to.
