Dolly Parton now has chart hits spanning 60 years, thanks to her rerecording of “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” with Lainey Wilson, Miley Cyrus, Queen Latifah and Reba McEntire on the occasion of her 80th birthday. 

The all-star sing-along scored the highest debut of the week at #41 on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart, emerging at #1 on Billboard‘s Country Digital Song Sales tally as well.

“This is the best gift I could receive!” Dolly said of the news. “I want to thank the fans, all the radio programmers, and all the streaming partners.”

Dolly’s first chart success came in 1966 with a song she co-wrote and contributed uncredited vocals to: “Put It Off Until Tomorrow” by Bill Phillips. It made it to #6 and was named a BMI Song of the Year.
