In case you missed it...
When you're 77 years old, have a career any performer would love to have and are still setting personal records with new music, that not only makes you a legend but something of a unicorn. Dolly Parton's "Rockstar" album, out November 17, is setting new records in a career that goes back to her first single in 1959. So what records could a performer who's released music in eight different decades still be setting? With the release of "Rockstar," the album debuts at #1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart (dated December 2), bringing Dolly her first chart-topper in the 32-year history of that particular chart. "Rockstar" also debuts at #3 on the Billboard 200 - Dolly's highest charting album ever, and her third Top 10 on that chart. Not bad, Dolly. What's next?
