Reba Ties Another Dolly Record
The Jan. 2 charts released on Thursday, the first dated in 2010, showed Reba McEntire has tied another one of Dolly's records. Her track "Consider Me Gone" ascends to the top spot on the country singles chart, which makes her the only other artist to have scored a No. 1 country hit across four different decades. Dolly's four are the '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s, while Reba's are the '80s, '90s, '00s and '10s (since this marks the first chart dated in the new year). She's still a little behind Dolly on overall chart-toppers, though, with this being just her 23rd career Billboard No. 1, compared to Dolly's 25. The magazine notes the accomplishment here. The song is Reba's 57th country top 10. You may recall earlier this year that her collaboration with Brooks & Dunn, "Cowgirls Don't Cry," pushed her past Dolly's record of 55 credited top 10s.

Dolly Titles Stick Around
Meanwhile, the two Dolly collections on the charts last week remain on there this week in the Jan. 2 numbers from Billboard. Her Dolly: Live From London inches down two in its sixth week to No. 53 country albums, while the Dolly boxed set slips six to No. 69 country albums in its third chart week. Once Upon A Christmas, the Kenny Rogers and Dolly duet album from 1984, drops 10 to No. 21 in its sixth week this year on the U.S. country catalog albums chart and dips five to No. 13 country albums in Canada, where it is in its seventh week for the year. Steve Martin's The Crow - New Songs for the 5-String Banjo, with a Dolly collaboration, remains steady at No. 1 bluegrass albums in its 44th chart week. NOW That's What I Call A Country Christmas, featuring Dolly's "Hard Candy Christmas," loses two to No. 13 country in its 10th week, falls one to No. 14 holiday albums in its 11th week there, and dips 11 to No. 68 pop in its eighth week on that list. Taylor Swift's Fearless remains at the No. 1 country albums spot and No. 4 pop in its 58th week with 239,000 copies sold, while Carrie Underwood's Play On holds steady at No. 2 country in its seventh week and No. 5 pop with 153,000 units moved.

More 'Dolly' Reviews
A few more papers praised the Dolly boxed set in recent days. The Chicago Reader said here that the collection makes it "even easier to appreciate her development and range." Charleston's Gazette Mail here opined that even the songs from her childhood showed "the style that would make her a country-pop icon is front and center."

New Yorker Mention
Dolly's New Yorker interview from earlier this year made its best-of section for its "Talk of the Town" section here.

New 'Dolly' Suggestions
There were a couple more recommendations Tuesday that folks buy the Dolly boxed set. One came from The Early Show on CBS, where their gift consultant suggested it as the present for country fans here. Then The Louisville Courier-Journal included it here in its recommended boxed set gifts, noting: "It has long been trendy to name-check Parton for her songwriting, especially her early material, but few people listen to anything other than 'Jolene.' Dig deeper with this."

Dolly Fetches AMA Auction Top Bid
Dolly was the big-ticket item at the Americana Music Association's charity auction this week, CMT.com reports here. The event raised more than $30,000 for the organization by auctioning off handwritten lyrics by famous artists of some of their best-known hits. Dolly contributed "I Will Always Love You," which took the night's highest price at $7,150. Next-highest was Willie Nelson with "On The Road Again" for $3,510.

Latest Boxed Set Recommendation
Another critic is recommending the Dolly boxed set, this time CNN International, which noted here it shows how much more there is to Dolly than just her pop hits, especially proving what "a terrific songwriter" she is.

'Dolly' Returns, 'London' Holds On
Dolly's appearance on the Carrie Underwood holiday special to promote her current concert CD/DVD and her Christmas single had no impact on either product, the Dec. 26 Billboard charts released Thursday showed, but it appears to have bolstered sales of her four-disc Sony boxed set. "Comin' Home For Christmas," which she performed on the special, still did not get enough radio airplay or sales to debut on the country singles tally, and Dolly: Live From London, which she also plugged on the show, remains flat, holding steady again at No. 51 country in its fifth week on the chart. However, the Dolly boxed set re-enters the top 75 country albums for a second week, coming in at No. 63. Kenny Rogers and Dolly's Once Upon A Christmas from 25 years ago inches down two to No. 11 in its fifth week this year on the U.S. country catalog albums chart (Canadian charts were not updated as of press time). Steve Martin's The Crow - New Songs for the 5-String Banjo, featuring Dolly on one track, remains steady at No. 1 bluegrass albums in its 43rd chart week. NOW That's What I Call A Country Christmas, with Dolly's "Hard Candy Christmas," holds steady at No. 11 country in its ninth week, rises six to No. 13 holiday albums in its 10th week there, and moves up four to No. 57 pop in its seventh week on that list. Taylor Swift's Fearless remains at the No. 1 country albums spot in its 57th week and drops one to No. 4 pop with 168,000 copies sold, while Underwood's special helped her own Play On hold steady at No. 2 country in its sixth week and inch up one to No. 5 pop with a 32 percent sales increase to 107,000 units.

Dolly Makes Year-End Charts
Thanks to its re-release earlier this year as a Cracker Barrel exclusive with bonus tracks, Dolly's 2008 studio set Backwoods Barbie graces the 2009 Billboard year-end charts. It comes in at No. 70 out of the 75 top country albums of the year based on sales, the magazine has announced. That compares to its No. 56 ranking in 2008. It also stands at No. 49 this year out of the top 50 albums on the independent labels albums chart, compared to a No. 34 spot last year. The number of weeks for her five charted titles this year (Dolly: Live From London, Dolly, Backwoods Barbie, 16 Biggest Hits and Playlist: The Very Best Of Dolly Parton) places her at No. 46 in the top 50 country album artists of the year, versus No. 28 last year with only those last three titles spending time on the charts in 2008.

More Critics Like Boxed Set
A couple more glowing reviews have come out for the four-disc Dolly boxed set (still available here with the exclusive bonus disc A Real Live Dolly on CD for the first time). The Syracuse New Times says here the collection confirms her place as "the queen of popular music," not just country, and that she's written so many songs there should be a sequel. And Playback says here "so few American singers are more deserving of a retrospective collection" but gives it just a "B+" because it is missing her recordings from the last 15 years.

'9 To 5' Heading To Atlanta
The second city for the touring company of Dolly's Tony and Grammy-nominated 9 To 5:The Musical was revealed over the weekend: Atlanta. As was previously reported, the tour will kick off with a Sept. 21-26 engagement at Nashville's Tennessee Performing Arts Center. Broadway World reported here Sunday that the show will then move to Atlanta's Fox Theatre Sept. 28-Oct. 3 as part of the city's Theater of the Stars 2010 season. TOS President Nick Manos told the publication: "We have been interested in this show for years. I think Dolly Parton is a breath of fresh air to the world of musical theatre and you can tell she really believes in the show. We are thrilled to be presenting this show as part of our season." Dolly's musical closed on Broadway in September after 148 performances and 24 previews sold nearly 219,000 tickets.

More 'Dolly' Praise
A couple more newspapers are plugging the Dolly boxed set as one of this year's best holiday gifts. Minnesota's Pioneer Press included it on its list here, while The Knoxville News Sentinel did the same here, giving it an "A-."

Channing Chats Of Dolly
Carol Channing thinks Dolly was too good to stick to just one thing in her career. The Broadway legend mentioned her in an interview with e-mail subscription magazine Nashville Stages promoting her new gospel album, For Heavens Sake. The publication asked her: "In a world that tends to place people and especially entertainers in a box, is there any part of you that wonders if people will accept a gospel album from Broadway's queen?" She replied: "Maybe at one time that was true. Today you have so many artists who are on Broadway and television or film. And some of those started as singers. Look at Dolly Parton. What a wonderful example of someone who wouldn't be boxed."

Fan Seeks Interviews
My friend Crystal asked if I'd pass this item along for her. She's working on a 15-page paper for school about Dolly fans from outside the United States. If you could e-mail her here with the answers to the following questions, she'd most appreciate it. 1. What first got your attention about Dolly? 2. Why do you love Dolly so much? 3. What is the difference between Dolly fans where you live and in the United States? 4. Where are you from? 5. How many times have you met Dolly?

Dolly Gets Fiddle Honor
Dolly was recently awarded the Dr. Perry F. Harris Award from the Grand Master Fiddler Championship for her impact on the fiddling art form. Porter & Dolly performed at the inaugural championship in Nashville in 1972, and the organization's president noted: "Dolly has been consistent in her support of fiddling for over forty-years and former Grand Master champions have played in her band and on her CDs all along the way; most notably Mark O'Connor and Jimmy Mattingly. We are grateful for Dolly's support and look forward to many more years of her producing fine music." Dolly said Dr. Harris, who was a dentist, "was my good doctor but was also my good friend. I remember how much he loved fiddling and I was honored when he asked me to help get this started. This is a great, great honor and I will hang this award in my museum at Dollywood."

'London' Sticks Around Another Week
Dolly: Live From London holds its own on the charts this week, remaining steady at No. 51 in its fourth week on the country albums charts, the Dec. 19 Billboard charts released Thursday showed. We should see in next week's chart whether her appearance on Carrie Underwood's holiday special results in any sales increase of this title or radio airplay of her new Christmas song, "Comin' Home For Christmas," which has yet to chart. In other chart news, Once Upon A Christmas with Kenny Rogers from 1984 shoots up a dozen digits to No. 9 in its fourth week this year on the U.S. country catalog albums chart, holds steady at No. 9 Canadian country in its fifth week this year there and inches down one to No. 80 Canadian pop in its fourth week there this year. Steve Martin's The Crow - New Songs for the 5-String Banjo, with its Dolly duet, remains steady at No. 1 bluegrass albums in its 42nd chart week. NOW That's What I Call A Country Christmas, featuring Dolly's "Hard Candy Christmas," rises one to No. 11 country in its eighth week, falls six to No. 19 holiday albums in its ninth week there, and gains eight to No. 61 pop in its sixth week on that list. Brad Paisley's Time Well Wasted, with Dolly on "When I Get Where I'm Going," falls back off the 25-position country catalog albums chart, down from No. 12. Taylor Swift's Fearless remains at No. 1 country albums spot in its 56th week and moves up five to No. 3 pop, while Carrie Underwood's Play On holds steady at No. 2 country in its fifth week and inches up three to No. 6 pop.

More Boxed Set Praise
Another critic says you can't go wrong with the Dolly boxed set as a holiday gift, with The Chicago Tribune noting here: "The exaggerated physique and personality sometimes obscure Parton's accomplishments as a singer, songwriter and guitar player . . . Her sincerity is awe-inspiring, yet she also packs a wicked sense of humor."

CDs Make Best Of Decade List
Music blog The 9513 on Wednesday revealed a Dolly title has made its top 20 country albums of the decade. Her 2001 CD Little Sparrow made it to No. 19, with the reviewer calling it "the Empire Strikes Back of Parton's bluegrass trilogy: it's the best of the three." She also had connections to two other albums in No. 20-11: No. 18 Livin', Lovin', Losin': Songs Of The Louvin Brothers features a Dolly vocal track, and No. 12 Sleepless Nights by Patty Loveless features a cover of the Porter & Dolly hit "The Pain Of Loving You." Read more here. Earlier in their countdown of the top 100 records of the 2000s, she placed at No. 54 with Halos & Horns. Their top 10 should be revealed soon!

Carrie Gets Ratings, Dolly Gets Searched
Carrie Underwood's FOX special with Dolly and other guests Monday night earned so-so ratings, but it did propel Dolly into the stratosphere on search engines. Specifically, a query for her age (63, turning 64 in six weeks) shot up into the top five searches on Google following her performance of three songs on the program. The show itself was seen by an estimated 8.5 million viewers, barely beating ABC's holiday shows for second place in its time slot and far behind nearly twice the audience watching comedies on CBS. Competing shows on NBC and CW saw larger-than-usual audiences but still finished fourth and fifth (apparently, some loyal FOX viewers chose to watch those smaller networks rather than Underwood when their regular shows weren't on). Check out more on the Google note from Popeater here and Billboard here, and the ratings from Variety here. Image by Michael Becker. Courtesy FOX.

Dolly And Carrie Carry Show
Dolly shined in the final section of Carrie Underwood's FOX holiday special, which actually featured very little holiday music. Dolly performed "Here You Come Again," after which Underwood came on stage dressed as Dolly. They later offered a duet of "I Will Always Love You," and then they used Underwood's "Jesus Take The Wheel" to kick off a few Christmas tunes which included an abbreviated version of Dolly's new "Comin' Home For Christmas." A running joke was admitted Dolly fanatic Kristen Chenoweth wanting to sing with Dolly (Dolly during the program even repeated her serious comment from a couple of years back that she'd like Chenoweth to play her in a Broadway musical version of her life story she is currently writing). The show repeats Dec. 22. Image by Michael Becker. Courtesy FOX.

Library Soft Cover Books Coming
The Knoxville-area chapter of Dolly's Imagination Library this week issued a press release announcing that the program will begin next year introducing soft cover books into its collection to reduce the cost of the project for communities, which pay the actual book purchase and postage expenses for each local child, as both of those costs would be less with soft cover books. Previously, all titles had been hard cover. "We invested a great deal of time in making this decision including an extensive discussion with the local sponsors across the USA, Canada and United Kingdom," says Dollywood Foundation President David Dotson. "At the end of the day, everyone agreed that moving in this direction will save significant dollars without compromising quality." The first and last books in the program will remain hard cover, and all books sent to the youngest children will also stay hard cover. The international program ships more than 6 million books a year to children birth to age 5 in more than 1,100 communities. Coverage of the announcement came from Knoxville's WBIR TV here and Knoxville Metro Pulse here.

Dolly and Underwood perform a duet of "I Will Always Love You" on the program, which also features American Idol winner David Cook (he and Underwood do a duet), Kristen Chenoweth and Christina Applegate (who join Underwood for a trio performance). According to audience members, Dolly was also taped singing "Here You Come Again" and a holiday song in addition to a Q&A skit with Underwood and instance where she comes on stage dressed in Dolly drag. Publicity stills, such as the images at left and right, have included the duet, the double Dolly scene (click here to see) and one of Dolly alone, suggesting that at least one of her two solo performances (maybe both) made the cut for the final show.

Well, her Los Angeles-based publicist put out a press release on Thursday with her comment, and here it is: "What a great holiday gift to hear that 9 to 5:  The Musical cast album has been nominated for a Grammy. I feel blessed to have worked with such a talented, wonderful and deserving group of people.  '9 to 5' truly is the gift that keeps on giving!  And congratulations to all the Grammy nominees." As was reported here Wednesday night, the recording is up for Best Musical Show Album for the Jan. 31 awards, and Dolly is credited with the nomination as album producer and score composer and lyricist.

'London' Loses More Ground
Dolly: Live From London takes a tumble on the charts this week, dropping 15 places to No. 51 in its third week on the country albums charts and falling completely off the 50-position independent label albums tally, down from No. 34 in its second week there, according to the Dec. 12 Billboard charts released Thursday. In other chart news, her 1980s duet album with Kenny Rogers, Once Upon A Christmas, drops seven to No. 21 in its third week this year on the U.S. country catalog albums chart. It dips five to No. 79 Canadian pop albums in its third week on that list for 2009, but the CD holds steady at No. 9 Canadian country in its fourth week there. Steve Martin's The Crow - New Songs for the 5-String Banjo, featuring a Dolly duet, rebounds to recapture the No. 1 spot on the bluegrass albums list in its 41st chart week, up from several weeks at No. 2. NOW That's What I Call A Country Christmas, which includes Dolly's "Hard Candy Christmas," inches up one to No. 12 country in its seventh week there, gains two to No. 13 holiday albums in its eighth week there, and falls four to No. 69 pop in its fifth week on that list. Brad Paisley's Time Well Wasted, with Dolly on "When I Get Where I'm Going," re-enters the 25-position country catalog albums chart at No. 12. Taylor Swift's Fearless recaptures the top country albums spot in its 55th week and rises two to No. 8 pop, while Carrie Underwood's Play On falls one to No. 2 country in its fourth week and holds steady at No. 9 pop.

Latest CD Reviews
The Dolly boxed set is once more being touted as a great stocking stuffer, this time in USA Today which opines here that "her range as a singer and songwriter unfolds across 99 tracks." I'm told the boxed set is also profiled in last week's issue of Time Out New York magazine, which notes "the real treasures are Parton's earliest cuts, all rockabilly sass and scruffy sweetness." Thanks, Tom! And the Country Standard Time blog praises the Dolly: Live From London set here.

Dolly Nominated For '9 To 5' Grammy
Dolly Records can claim its first Grammy nod, but it's surprisingly for a release on which its namesake and founder doesn't sing. The Grammy Awards Wednesday night revealed that the 9 To 5: The Musical Broadway cast album snagged a nomination for Best Musical Show Album. Its competition consists of the 30th anniversary cast recording of Ain't Misbehavin', new Broadway cast album of Hair, Broadway cast album of Shrek: The Musical and new Broadway cast album of West Side Story. Dolly shares in the nomination as composer and lyricist of the show and producer of the album. Interestingly, the Grammy nomination folks erred in listing Frank Filipetti as the album's producer when he was the engineer who recorded and mixed the tracks – the CD was produced by Stephen Oremus and Dolly with co-producer Alex Lacamoire. This marks her 45th career Grammy nomination, from which she has won seven thus far.

A children's film for which Dolly composed and recorded a couple of original songs will get its world premiere Sunday in the small town where most of it was filmed. First Dog will be shown on several screens Sunday at CineLux Theatres Tennant Station in Morgan Hill, Calif., The Morgan Hill Times reported here Tuesday. (Although the article notes that Dolly appears in the film, she is not included on the cast list, so that may be incorrect.) The movie follows the adventures of a young boy who finds the president's dog and takes him back to Washington.

More Boxed Set Praise
The Philadelphia Inquirer thinks the four-disc Dolly boxed set would make an excellent holiday gift for the music lover in your life. In a column here, the paper gives it three-and-a-half out of four stars and says it "makes a strong case for Dolly Parton as a giant of American song," although it is "not complete" because it is missing some of her best work that was recorded in the past decade.
