If their male counterparts are credited first why does IITS count as a Dolly Parton lead song but RMI doesn't count as an Olivia Dean lead song?

Shame Jolene didn’t end up top 5 in the end but still a new peak is good regardless !

we nearly had Jolene going 9 To 5

Oh yeah I completely forgot despacito!

I think it's crazy to think 9-5 was never a top 40 hit till last week and now it'll be her highest charting hit to date.

Dolly's credited first by the OCC because of how the digital version was released, alongside Dolly's catalogue (it's not available on its parent Kenny Rogers album digitally).

“Jolene” is my favourite of the Dolly hits; shame it couldn’t quite go top 5 for the first time.

Aww I was hoping "Jolene" would be top 5. Either way a new peak is welcome! Surprised "9 to 5" overtook, but glad that's in the top 5!

Out of interest, what is the smallest chart drop from a number 1 song to get put on ACR?

I think Despacito only dropped to 2, and then regained the number one spot for the following two weeks?

It would be weird if the randomly selected number 1 was Rein Me In !!!

Biography

A powerful singer-songwriter and electric performer, Dolly Parton was one of country music’s most beloved figures. Born to an impoverished family in Tennessee in 1946 (in humble upbringings that would inspire such songs as “Coat of Many Colors”), she started singing in church, received a guitar at age eight and performed on regional radio programmes as a kid. She moved to Nashville the day after her high school graduation in 1964 and quickly signed with Monument Records. Her first charting single, 1966’s “Dumb Blonde”, introduced her as a fun-loving but independent woman confident enough to flout stereotypes and command her own destiny. In the late ’60s, Parton enjoyed huge success as a regular on Porter Wagoner’s weekly TV show and through a long string of collaborative hits. But she became even more popular as a solo artist, particularly with a pair of 1974 hits: the aching “I Will Always Love You”—which Parton wrote about needing to strike out on her own without Wagoner—and the timeless “Jolene”, with its poignant minor-key mode and emotional intensity. In 1981, Parton landed her first pop No. 1 hit, the blue-collar anthem “9 to 5”, and co-starred in the comedy film of the same name. She then had the biggest smash of her career in 1983 with “Islands In the Stream”, an easygoing romantic duet with Kenny Rogers. Further collaborations—like her albums with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, plus cameos on songs by Kesha and Miley Cyrus (her goddaughter)—expanded Parton’s legacy through the end of the 20th century and well into the 21st. Over time, she became involved in endeavours like her namesake Dollywood theme park, a 9 to 5 Broadway musical and the literacy-focused Imagination Library. But Parton’s latter-day work—including a series of stripped-down bluegrass albums and 2023’s Rockstar, a rock ’n’ roll album released upon her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction—showed that her musical gifts contained multitudes. She passed away in August 2026 at age 80. - Apple Music

Dolly for Series 3 of the Pop Factor?

A much much much more deserving peak for this! No1 would be ideal but I’m glad it’s finally a top 5 hit

Hadji should be happy today

Doubly so if Now 123 finally adds that all important No.1 single

I'm not listening live, but presume Radio 1 didn't address the elephant in the room of why a very steady 23 week No.1 single would suddenly dive to No.7?

9 to 5 peaking at #5 feels quite apt, though ironically it blocked Jolene from going 9-5

shame this wasn't at 9 last week
