On The Charts - The Singles

Below is the most complete listing of Dolly's singles ever compiled, complete with A and B sides, alternate releases, gold and platinum certifications (for singles, 1 million copies and 2 million copies sold, respectively), U.S. country, adult contemporary and pop chart peak positions and notes on some of the songs. Country top 10 hits are in bold, while No. 1 singles are in bold and underlined. If a song notes "uncredited," it means that while Dolly performed on the song and may be listed as such on the album's liner notes, she was not listed on the single's official artist tag when it charted; thus, those songs cannot be counted in her overall total of chart singles. Overall totals for her number of country and pop chart singles are listed at the bottom of the page (not including uncredited appearances or when she performed on the B-side of another artist's charted single). British chart single history (in the "Notes" section) courtesy www.uktop40.net webmaster Ed Wilkinson. Based on U.S. country chart performance, Billboard ranks Dolly No. 1 of all females (Reba is No. 2) and No. 7 of all country performers. She is the No. 3 performer (No. 1 female) for the 1970s and No. 9 performer (No. 1 female) for the 1980s. She has the eighth most No. 1 songs of any artist with 25 (No. 1 female; Reba is No. 2 female with 22), the fourth most top 40 hits with 88 (No. 1 female; Reba is No. 2), ninth most top 10 hits with 55 (No. 2 female, one behind Reba with 56), and ninth most crossover pop hits with 25 (No. 2 female, Anne Murray is No. 1 with 28). She also is tied with Ray Price at fifth place for the most charted artist with 113 chart singles (No. 1 female; Reba is No. 2).

Dolly's first single, recorded on the small Louisiana label in 1957, was released on April 20, 1959. The 11-year-old co-wrote the A-side with her uncle, Bill Owens, and the B-side with Bill and her aunt, Dorothy Jo Owens Hope. It did not chart.

A: It's Sure Gonna Hurt
B: The Love You Gave

Mercury

.

.

.

Her second single, from 1962, was on Mercury Records in Nashville. She and Uncle Bill co-wrote the A-side. When it didn't chart, the label dropped the 16-year-old singer.

A: I Wasted My Tears
B: What Do You Think About Lovin'

Monument

.

.

.

Fred Foster at Monument Records first tried to market Dolly as the next bubblegum pop star, having her sing Brenda Lee and Leslie Gore style numbers. It wasn't successful. This 1965 cut was her first single after moving to Nashville a year earlier. The A-side was eventually added to her 1967 album Hello I'm Dolly. Dolly and Uncle Bill co-wrote both songs.

A: Happy, Happy Birthday Baby
B: Old Enough To Know Better (Too Young To Resist)

Monument

Her first chart single, the A-side debuted on the pop charts on Oct. 2, 1965.

A: Busy Signal
B: I Took Him For Granted

Monument

Frustrated with lack of success, Fred Foster brought in Ray Stevens to produce Dolly with this 1965 single (he also wrote the A-side, while the B-side was a Dolly and Bill Owens composition).

A: Bill Phillips: Friends Tell Friends (uncredited Dolly harmony)
B: Bill Phillips: It Happens Every Time

Decca

Dolly and Uncle Bill Owens wrote the 1965 a-side, and Dolly sang harmony. Both cuts later appeared on Bill Phillips' 1967 album Style.

A: Don't Drop Out
B: Control Yourself

Monument

This 1966 single is personally my favorite from her Monument sessions (very "Leader of the Pack" sound). Also produced by Stevens.

Another Dolly and Uncle Bill song, the A-side featured Dolly singing harmony from Bill Phillips' 1966 album of the same name. When it became a hit, people called in to radio stations asking who the "girl singer" was. This first country success prompted Fred Foster to allow Dolly to record country. The song was recorded over the next two years by many additional of leading country artists, including Loretta Lynn, and won Dolly her first industry award, a BMI Award for writing one of the most-played country songs of the year.

A: Little Things
B: I'll Put It Off Until Tomorrow

Monument

The B-side to this single contained an "answer song," offering "Put It Off Until Tomorrow" performed from the point of view of the one who was leaving. The A-side appeared on Hello I'm Dolly.

TOTALS
(Not including unredited appearances or B-side appearances on others' records)

* Note: The official Billboard total is 113 country singles because it counts double-sided singles ("It's All Wrong, But It's All Right"/"Two Doors Down," "Sweet Summer Lovin'"/"Great Balls of Fire," "I Will Always Love You"/"Do I Ever Cross Your Mind" and "House Of The Rising Sun"/"Working Girl") as two separate entries each even if the B-sides didn't enter the country chart; and their total also includes singles which charted on the country singles sales chart but not the standard airplay chart ("Peace Train" and "Viva Las Vegas"). In addition, since "Hard Candy Christmas" charted twice, it is included twice in the 107 total listed here and in the Billboard tally. Interestingly, 113 is also the total of her overall singles if the "extra" country numbers are removed and the pop-only and adult contemporary-only singles are added.

* Also released as a single was "Mathilda (I Cry and Cry For You"/Bony Moronie" on Country Blues Records by John Henry III featuring Dolly on harmony on the A-side. It is not listed above because I don't know the year of release.
