Dolly’s Career and Achievements
Dolly Parton is ranked third overall, behind Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard. However, with A Holly Dolly Christmas, she extended her lead over Reba McEntire and Shania Twain, who had a 20+-year span of No.1s on Top Country Albums. All of them reached the Top 20 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and eight country No.1s.

This is not the first time the country icon is recognized for a Guinness World Records title. “Celebrating the longevity and success of Dolly Parton’s remarkable career with three more Guinness World Records titles was incredible,” added adjudicator Michael Empric.
