Dolly Parton continues to make waves around the world with her music as she was recently presented with 47 new global sales certifications. The new honors come from sales originating in the U.S., United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Sweden.
“I’ve often said that my songs are like my children, and I expect them to support me later in my life. Well, it looks like they are doing just that!” proclaims Parton. “I am so humbled to have been surprised with this incredible collection of certifications from around the world. I owe a big thank you to my fans, old and new, who continue to be there for me year after year. This is a wonderful way to kick off 2022!”
“I’m so proud to represent the hottest entertainer in the business,” adds Danny Nozell, Parton’s longtime manager. “These international awards solidify the fact that Dolly is a global superstar icon that still keeps growing every year. Just when you thought her assets couldn’t get any bigger, she proves us wrong again!”
