Dolly Parton has achieved a historic milestone on the UK music charts, securing her highest-charting single after her passing at the age of 80. Following her death on August 25, which came after "a brief battle with cancer," there was a significant surge of interest in her music. This led to a remarkable chart performance, with three of her songs simultaneously placing in the top 10. Her iconic track "9 to 5" climbed to fifth place on the official singles chart, marking her highest UK chart position. Additionally, "Jolene" reached a new peak at number six, while her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers, "Islands in the Stream," climbed to number nine. This is the first time Parton has had three songs in the top 10 at the same time, according to the Official Charts Company. Parton's music is also experiencing a resurgence on the albums chart. Her greatest hits collection, Diamonds & Rhinestones, has climbed to fifth place, breaking into the top five for the first time since its release in 2022. This renewed interest in her work comes as fans around the world pay tribute to her enduring legacy in country music. Meanwhile, the UK charts are seeing a broader trend of country music success. American singer-songwriter Ella Langley has achieved her first UK number one single with "Choosin’ Texas." The track, which first appeared in January at number 78, steadily climbed the charts and finally reached the top in recent weeks. It ended the reign of Sam Fender and Olivia Dean's "Rein Me In" and has now spent 23 non-consecutive weeks at number one, breaking a long-standing record. On the albums chart, US singer Alex Warren has secured his second consecutive UK number one with Wildchild, which also topped the UK vinyl albums chart for the most physical records sold. Warren expressed his gratitude to the Official Charts Company, saying, "This is absolutely insane, and I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart." Other notable entries in the top five include The Courteeners’ God Bless The Band, Michael Jackson’s The Essential, and Olivia Rodrigo’s You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love, which had a strong debut in June.
