Two Dolly Parton Songs Enter Billboard Charts After Prediction Market Offering
Wednesday September 2, 2026 (9:29 am EDT)
Dolly Parton’s original recording of “Jolene” reenters the Sept. 5-dated Billboard Hot 100 at a new peak of No. 16 following the country legend’s death on Aug. 25 at age 80. And “Jolene” isn’t alone.
