Dolly Parton’s done it again - country singer has broken three Guinness World Records

Dolly Parton will be needing a bigger trophy cabinet for all of her awards as the country singing legend has added another three accolades to her name. The Jolene singer has broken three new world records for her music and was awarded the titles from the Guinness World Records. 

The iconic singer broke the records for the most studio albums released by a female country singer with 65 albums including Hello, I’m Dolly and Run, Rose, Run. The record title was previously held by American singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn with 45 albums. 

Dolly also broke the records for the most top 10 entries on the Top Country Albums chart as a female artist with 48 singles and the female artist with the longest span of No.1 hits on the Top Country Albums chart which has been over 43 years.

Speaking at the awards ceremony in Nashville, Dolly said: “This is the kind of stuff that really makes you very humble and very grateful for everything that's happened. I had no idea that I would be in the Guinness World Records this many times! I am flattered and honoured."

It’s not the first Guinness World Record title Dolly has been awarded. The 9-5 singer already has seven titles under her belt bringing her total now up to 10 Guinness World records for her achievements in music. The seven other records include:
