Dolly Parton is now the holder of three Guinness World Records!
The country music icon was honoured with her new certificates during a celebration in Nashville where she was told she had broken the record for the most decades on the US Hot Country Songs chart (female) – SEVEN, FYI – that’s right, she’s made it on the charts over 70 glorious years!!

“This is the kind of stuff that really makes you very humble and very grateful for everything that’s happened,” she tells the Guinness World Records.
“I had no idea that I would be in the Guinness World Records this many times! I am flattered and honoured. I’ve had a lot of people help me get here. Thanks to all of you and all of them for helping me have all of this.”
