Even in death, Dolly Parton seemingly continues to break records as the impact of her legacy is felt all over the world.

The iconic country musician took her last breath last week at 80 years old. It was confirmed that she passed away in a Tennessee hospital after a secret battle with cancer.

Now, fans all over are reaching for Parton’s music for some comfort, inevitably granting their beloved idol a posthumous win.

Dolly Parton’s Music Reaches UK Number One For The First Time Ever

In a bittersweet victory, Parton is reportedly on course to take the number one spot as the UK’s top single thanks to her hit track, “9 to 5.”

Despite being globally loved and acknowledged, boasting eleven Grammy Awards, six Golden Globes, three Emmys, and one Tony Award, the Queen of Country never dominated international waters. At least until now.

According to the Daily Mail, last Friday, the 1980 track climbed to the number 12 position days after Parton’s death. It has since achieved a 350 percent week-on-week increase.

By the weekend, “9 to 5” had graduated to the number one spot on the charts, with another Parton banger, “Jolene,” following closely at number two.

The Official Charts Company predicts that the late songstress will continue her reign all through this week. 

Dolly Parton Blessed Fans With One Final Song But There’s A Twist

While fans cling to Parton’s catalog as a way to hold on to her artistry, the singer, in her usual fashion of kindness, didn’t leave them hanging.

Although she is gone, they can still look forward to hearing something new from the country legend. As reported by The Blast, the singer secretly recorded one song years ago, which has since been locked away at her DreamMore Resort in Tennessee.

The track, reportedly titled “My Place in History,” will, however, not be available to fans until two decades later. 

Parton left strict instructions that it not be released until her milestone 100th birthday on January 19, 2046, thereby turning it into a historical musical time capsule.

The piece of the legacy is kept inside a chestnut “Dream Box,” sitting behind glass at the resort, which opened in 2015 in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

She Left Behind Vault Filled With Hundreds Of Unheard Songs

The 100th birthday recording isn’t the only gift left behind by the “Coat of Many Colors” songstress.

Insiders close to Parton have since confirmed that she had a secret archive of scores of unreleased songs, which was kept under tight security.

“The songs are hidden very safely in ‘The Vault’; that is what she called her secret storage place for her music,” claimed the source, per The Blast. “They are protected and very secure. There could be as many as 200 songs; no one really knows because Dolly was very secretive.”

Never one to be without a plan, the icon left instructions for how the songs would be managed, as she had deliberately prepared “posthumous music.”

She Will Also Live On Through Her Imagination Library 

Parton’s music was only a part of her impressive legacy, which was mainly philanthropy. She leveraged her fame and wealth to spread love and hope to millions, especially children.

One of her most notable projects was the Imagination Library, a program geared to improving childhood literacy. Founded in 1995 through The Dollywood Foundation, she was inspired by her father, Robert Lee Parton, whom she described as the smartest man, but he couldn’t read or write.

The program, which was first launched locally to provide community kids access to books, has since become a global source of hope, available in over six countries.

According to The Blast, a rep for the singer has since urged fans to donate to the Imagination Library in lieu of flowers in the aftermath of her death.

Parton’s Final Wish For Dollywood Park Revealed

While mourning their Dreamer-in-chief, they revealed that they would instead honor Parton through celebration, music, and laughter rather than silence. 

Hence, the theme park would remain open in accordance with her wishes, per The Blast.
