The fuck was happening in 1974 that Jolene peaked at # 60 and I Will Always Love You apparently didnt chart at all?!

[chart data @chartdata]

Dolly Parton’s "Jolene" re-enters this week’s Hot 100 at a new peak of #16 following her passing.

It previously peaked at #60 in 1974.

[Steph @Feffie12]

What do you mean the original version never charted?!

[chart data @chartdata]

Dolly Parton’s "I Will Always Love You" debuts at #27 on this week’s Hot 100 following her passing.

The original version never charted; her 1982 re-recording peaked at #53 and Whitney Houston’s version peaked at #1.

Fun fact about Dolly Parton: She earned well over a billion dollars in her lifetime but was never a billionaire due to her extensive philanthropy. She consistently gave away massive portions of her wealth throughout her life.

Dolly funded the Imagination Library, sent musical instruments and uniforms to band departments in schools throughout the South, helped fund COVID vaccine research, and donated millions to natural disasters.

She was a constant LGBT supporter, and she believed that black lives mattered. She supported the trans population. She just loved everyone and she made sure we knew it.

She was a Christian. Instead of using her Christianity to judge, she used it as Jesus did, to love her neighbor. She didn’t hoard her money; she used it to help people wherever and whenever she could. That’s why there’s such an outpouring of love.

Be like Dolly.

Dolly had this "no shit, Sherlock" approach to social issues that used to be very ingrained in the country star archetype. like, always admitting she doesn't know everything, but wanting to get it right and not taking any shit at the same time. may we all be so humble

The doctor who delivered Dolly Parton in a one-room Tennessee cabin in 1946 was paid with a sack of cornmeal. Her father farmed other people's land and could not read or write. Eighty years later, the reading program she built in his name has mailed more than 300 million books.

She wrote "I Will Always Love You" on the same afternoon she wrote "Jolene," as a goodbye to Porter Wagoner, and released it in 1974. Elvis wanted it. The night before the session, Colonel Tom Parker called and said Presley would only record it if they got half the publishing, meaning half of everything the song ever earned. She had been in Nashville ten years by then. She said no, and cried all night. Whitney Houston cut her version in 1992, held number one for fourteen weeks, and Forbes later put Parton's royalties from it near $10 million. She put some of that money into an office complex in Nashville and called the place the house that Whitney built.

Dollywood opened in Pigeon Forge in 1986 because she wanted paychecks in the county she came from. Around 4,000 people work there now. Three million visitors come every year. The University of Tennessee put its economic impact at $1.8 billion, and it is the largest employer in Sevier County. Since 2022 the company has paid tuition, fees, and books in full for every worker from their first day, seasonal hires included.

Wildfires tore through those mountains in November 2016, killing fourteen people and destroying more than 2,400 buildings. Her foundation was handing out money within 48 hours. Every family that lost a home got $1,000 a month for six months, regardless of income. The final check was $5,000. Total delivered: $8.9 million.

In April 2020 she sent $1 million to Vanderbilt for coronavirus research. When Moderna's vaccine results ran in the New England Journal of Medicine that November, her fund appeared in the footnotes.

Carl Dean, her husband of nearly sixty years, died in March 2025. The note she wrote to fans afterward ended with the same five words she wrote for Porter Wagoner back in 1974. She died in Nashville today. Her family asked that instead of flowers, people give to the Imagination Library, which still mails 3.4 million books a month to children who will never get to meet her.

#LIVGolf Indianapolis will be Jon Rahm’s last event with the league as he is set to return to the PGA Tour in a deal reportedly struck in recent weeks.

The criteria for his return are said to include:

- $25 million fine, to be donated to charity

- Will have to do a Koepka-esque apology tour that includes announcing his separation from LIV Golf and a return to “traditional golf”

- Will not be eligible for Signature events unless he plays his way into them, not eligible for sponsors exemptions into these events

Furthermore, Legion XIII General Manager has been working behind the scenes to secure a similar deal for teammate Tyrrell Hatton, but nothing concrete has been agreed on yet.

Though the landscape surrounding LIV Golf has been very tumultuous over the past few months, it’s not expected that this will come as a shock to anyone within LIV Golf, and the prospective lead investment group. They were reportedly informed of his intentions well ahead of the event in Bedminster.

I DO NOT think people fully understand how much 1 billion is. If your salary was $100k with no tax, it would take you 10 years to become a millionaire, but 10,000 years to reach a billion. It is unethical for one person to be hoarding this much wealth while others cannot eat.

“I said what I said. I think it’s kind of common sense. … I think it’s really important to protect children.”

“I don’t dislike anyone. … I’m there to love, but I’m also there to love biological women. …”
