LAS VEGAS, Nev (Gambling911.com) - Iconic singer, song writer, actress and amazing businesswoman Dolly Parton passed away on Tuesday, in case you happened to be living under a rock these past few days.
Here in Vegas, the bars, pool gatherings and just about everywhere else, they have been playing old Dolly Parton standards.
This begs the question: Will one or more of her hits reach the Billboard top 10 post her death?
Kalshi was offering trading on this with a quarter of those backing her having a top 10 hit by year's end.
There is good reason to think that this could happen as we've already seen “Jolene” re-entere the UK singles chart at No. 9, while “9 to 5” entered at No. 12.
BetOnline could also begin offering odds shortly as well.
These are the songs that stand the best chance of reappearing on Billboard.
Jolene — extremely likely
9 to 5 — extremely likely
Islands in the Stream — good chance
I Will Always Love You — possible
Coat of Many Colors — outside chance
Historically, Dolly herself had only three Hot 100 Top 10 recordings: “9 to 5,” “Islands in the Stream” with Kenny Rogers, and “Here You Come Again.”
