Waves of tributes poured in this week to Tennessee star Parton, whose best-loved tunes were also played across the nation, evidently.
Her biggest streaming country-pop classic 9 to 5 was written for the 1980 film of the same name, and earned her an Oscar nomination as well as topping the US charts.
Another of her tunes, Jolene – which finds her pleading with a stunning rival not to steal her man – re-entered the chart at number nine on Friday.
The country anthem originally peaked at number seven in 1976 – her joint-highest UK chart placing.
Her duet with Kenny Rogers, Islands in the Stream, also reached number seven in 1983, and it has flowed back into this week’s chart at number 13.
Finally, Diamonds & Rhinestones, Parton’s 2022 greatest hits collection, reached the top 10 of the albums chart – topped by Heaton – for the first time too.
“Dolly Parton’s extraordinary legacy continues to shine through the official charts,” noted Becca Monahan and Chris Austin, co-managing directors of the official charts company, in a joint statement.
They called it a “powerful reflection of the UK’s enduring love for her music”.
“A true icon whose songs have crossed generations, these chart returns are a fitting celebration of Dolly’s incredible life, career and lasting impact,” they added.
