By the numbers alone, Dolly Parton, the Queen of Country, has long reached a level of success that's practically incomprehensible. She's sold over 100 million albums and has 11 Guinness World Records under her belt. This includes the most Top 10 entries on the U.S. Top Country Albums chart by a female artist (49), the longest span of No. 1 hits on the U.S. Hot Country Songs chart (35 years, 26 days), and the most decades with a Top 20 hit on the U.S. Hot Country Songs chart (7). This was all possible because of Dolly's absolute charm, disarming sweetness, and pure songwriting talent. The glitz and the glam are just part of the package (including her guitar-tapping, percussive nails ), as is her connection to her musical roots, right down to her choice of songs to cover.
