Dolly Parton, who died in Nashville aged 80, achieved notable success beyond country music, including on Billboard’s dance charts. Her dance-chart appearances underline the breadth of a career best known for more than 100 country hits and a record 25 No. 1s by a female artist.

Her first dance-chart entry came from the disco-influenced 1978 album Heartbreaker, while later releases included “9 to 5”, “Potential New Boyfriend” and a remixed “Peace Train”. Her collaboration with Galantis and Mr. Probz, “Faith”, reached No. 1 on Dance Airplay in 2019 and No. 10 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs; her 2023 rock album Rockstar also topped Top Rock Albums and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
