How much has 9 to 5 sold? Surely one of the biggest "hits" of the sales era never to have charted.

Around 2.5M so far. 9 To 5 only peaking at #47 is even more surprising considering it peaked at #2 on the radio airplay chart back in 1981:

I would personally LOVE for Faith to make some sort of resurgence as it’s my favourite thing she’s put her name to, an absolute banger! I don’t think it would happen in any way though.

She's recorded a song with Galantis & Mr Probz?! Talk about an unlikely collab! Will have to check that one out.

At the time I thought it might be a hit!

Dolly is absolutely dominating the Amazon charts at the moment, there are numerous versions in the charts of various greatest hits albums

Very sad circumstances but it would be great to see Dolly achieving a U.K. #1 single under her own name in the coming weeks, after Whitney’s version of ‘I Will Always Love You’ got there and also that Comic Relief version of ‘Islands in the Stream’.

Fingers crossed ❤️

The Ordinary Boys vs Lady Sovereign's 'Nine2Five' outpeaking not only Dolly's '9 to 5' but everything else she released is a statistic that could do with changing. (Sheena Easton's '9 to 5' did too, but to be fair that came out first.)

Sheena Easton changed the title of 9 To 5 when released in the US to "Morning train ( Nine To Five )" so as not to be confused with Dolly's 9 To 5 even though it's a different song.

Dolly to finally come and end Rein Me In's insufferable run at #1 from beyond the grave! (RIP Dolly)

Been some tacky comments today but this wins by leaps and bounds.

Bit of an overreaction

Errrmmmm? It's a chart forum and everyone's discussing the chart impact of her sad passing. Hardly 'tacky' ?

I would say yesterday's news was massive, I would say probably as an impact as the passing of Michael Jackson.

Dolly should have won the Oscar for Travelin' Thru.

And she should’ve been nominated for “Girl In the Movies” in 2018.

I was brought up with Dolly records in the 80s and 90s as my parents are Boomers. It's so strange that she was so popular in the UK without much of a track record on the charts here. The internet doesn't seem to be able to tell me much about how she was so popular without the corresponding sales. I know there was some kind of country boom in the mid 70s here, including a multi-act concert at Wembley Arena in 1975 that was Dolly's first step on British soil, but beyond that I'm stumped.

They took the wrong 80-year-old.

RIP Queen Dolly 🏳️‍🌈 IWALY

I think she is as popular if not more for her personality and her non-music activity as she is for her actual music.

Marianne still top twenty (#16) on the Wednesday midweek singles - looks like it might hold onto a top twenty debut!

PARTYNEXTDOOR's down to #33 now, while Satisfy looks like it might actually hold on and break the top forty this week (#31).
