Summary
Dolly Parton’s legendary voice returns to the charts on Belles’ new track “Son of Jolene,” a heartfelt sequel to her 1974 classic that debuted at 51 on Billboard Country Airplay — soaring 68% in one week. The song, reportedly Dolly’s final recorded release before her passing, marks a dream come true for Belles, the Nebraska-born songwriter who idolized her since childhood. Dolly’s producer Kent Wells helped bring the project to life, and Belles credits Dolly with giving her confidence. Meanwhile, Luke Combs holds steady at 1 with “Be By You,” while Lauren Alaina and Chase Matthew’s “All My Exes” climbs to 10 — Alaina’s fourth top 10, Matthew’s third — fueled by real Nashville dating tales. The charts are heating up — and these tracks are just getting started. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
