'Does He Love You' Makes Hot Country Songs Chart
Dolly and Reba are officially on the Hot Country Songs chart together, as their collaboration of "Does He Love You" debuts at No. 47 on the Oct. 23 charts released Tuesday reflecting its first full week of airplay, sales, and streaming. The track also debuts at No. 13 country digital sales but falls off of the top 50 country airplay tally, which is off from the other charts by three days (it runs Monday through Sunday, while the sales, streaming, and Hot Country Songs charts run Friday through Thursday), down from No. 49 the previous week, which reflected airplay in its first three days' of release only. It's Dolly's first entry on the Hot Country Songs chart since "Cuddle Up and Cozy Down" with Michael Buble last year, and Reba's since "Be A Light" with Thomas Rhett, Hillary Scott, Chris Tomlin, and Keith Urban, and "Dear Rodeo" with Cody Johnson, both last year. The triple album containing the track, Reba's Revived, Remixed, Revisited, debuts at No. 91 on the overall top 200 albums combining sales and streams, No. 8 Top Album Sales, No. 8 Current Albums, and No. 12 Country Albums with 8,000 units sold and 1,000 unit equivalents streamed. Elsewhere on the charts, Dolly and Zach Williams' "There Was Jesus" moves up four to No. 18 Christian digital song sales, and A Holly Dolly Christmas holds steady at No. 15 Top Holiday Albums.

Another Dolly Covid Preventative Applies For Approval
Dolly is saving the world once again, literally. AstraZeneca filed a request with the FDA for emergency use authorization for a long-acting antibody combination to protect against Covid-19 for those individuals with medical conditions that render the existing vaccines ineffective.

Dolly's Pigeon Forge companies this week made a gift of $700,000 to flood relief efforts of the United Way of Humphreys County, Tenn., where her friend Loretta Lynn's ranch is located. The county was impacted by catastrophic, deadly flash floods in August, and United Way was the charity Lynn requested Dolly support. "I hope that this money can be put to good use to help the people of Middle Tennessee with what they need during their recovery," Dolly said in a press release. "Loretta and her people helped us out so much following the wildfires in 2016 that I just knew we had to do something to help them. They have our prayers and our thoughts as they go through this time." Proceeds from ticket sales Oct. 2-3 from Dollywood as well as Dolly's Stampede, Pirates Voyage, and Hatfield & McCoy dinner theatres and support from The Dollywood Foundation were donated to the effort.
