Dolly Parton breaks not one, but three Guinness World Records
The Guinness World Records association has announced that living legend Dolly Parton can now claim three records to her name. The 75-year-old star holds the records for the most decades (seven) on the Billboard US Hot Country Songs chart for a female artist; the most number one hits (25) on the same chart; and she’s even broken her own record for the most overall hits on the chart—with 109 songs. When presented with three new certificates in Nashville, Tennessee yesterday, the beloved performer 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 Guinness World Records this many times! I am flattered and honored. 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.” She poignantly added: “I’ve been so fortunate to see my dreams come true, and I just hope to continue for as long as I can. You’re going to have to knock me down to stop me!”
