The evergreen anthem secured a brand-new peak on Friday, flying up to Number 12 following a 350% week-on-week increase. But the well-loved song is set to obliterate that accolade and rightfully crown the country great with her maiden, and long overdue chart-topper. And that’s not all. Her 1976 classic Jolene currently sits at Number 2, while Kenny Rogers team-up on Islands In the Stream sees itself flow to Number 6 in this latest update. The poignant moment, if it arrives, would stand as a collective tribute to a towering artist whose music will continue to echo across generations and beyond. Elsewhere, and following the release of his second LP WILDCHILD, Alex Warren could see both CRY WOLF (21) and EMERALD EYES (23) enter the Top 40 as new entries. There is set be a re-entry for Dua Lipa’s Training Season following the release of her EP Training Season’s Over, featuring multiple live versions of the beloved tune (36). Olivia Rodrigo’s powerful, political track serena joy, named after The Handmaid’s Tale character, could break the main standings (39). There may also be a first Top 20 placement for Audrey Hobert and Sue Me, which is forecast to rise one position (20), as Noah Kahan’s Orbiter eyes a fresh peak (30).

August 28Aug 28 Intrigued to see who Alex thinks is his biggest challenge to be running a competition to win a signed guitar on day 1

August 28Aug 28 Hope Sienna can grab the number 1. Would love dolly to do it but with her streams already decreasing I don’t think she’ll manage enough this week. I wouldn’t be mad if Ella did it, anything but that awful Hugel song
August 28Aug 28 2 minutes ago, Henessy Lake said:What was Alex's opening sales for his last album?His only previous album chart appearance was a weird case of initially charting as an EP and then that being expanded to a full length album but still continuing the chart run from the EP so it's not really directly comparable. But the "first" week of the "full" album was 20.8k.

August 29Aug 29 I hope 9 To 5 becomes Dolly’s higher charting hit next week. I’m surprised Jolene is the one selling the most. When I think of Dolly, the first song I think of is 9 To 5, not Jolene

August 29Aug 29 Looking at all of today’s charts, I feel that ‘Jolene’ will have done enough to be Number One in the First Look Chart - and Dolly should have 3 of the top 6/7 songs.A present, I doubt it would have the momentum to stay there unless the chart gets enough media attention.
August 29Aug 29 Here for Sienna going top 3 this week and hopefully climbing to number 1 in the next 2 weeks!
August 29Aug 29 probably between Dolly's Greatest Hits and Alex Warren on the albums chart this week - I'd probably give Dolly the advantage out of the two but it depends on how many physicals Alex has moved given his streaming looks a fair bit weaker this time Edited August 29Aug 29 by maggotsforbrains
