"I share these three new honors with my fans, who have allowed me to enjoy such a long career,” Dolly Parton said.
Dolly Parton is always smashing records. The country superstar has added three more Guinness World Records to her name, bringing her total to ten. The organization announced the feat on May 31, during a ceremony in Nashville where she was honored for her "remarkable" career. “I am humbled every time I receive a new Guinness World Records title. I share these three new honors with my fans, who have allowed me to enjoy such a long career,” Parton reportedly said of her achievements, per the organization's website.
Parton, a Country Music Hall of Fame member, has become one of the world's most adored — and rewarded — performers in the 56 years since she released her debut record, per TODAY. Parton now has three additional Guinness World Records titles to add to her long list of achievements. She was honored with the record for having the most studio albums released by a female country singer (65 projects, beginning with 1967's Hello, I'm Dolly and ending with her 2022 album Run, Rose, Run), having the most top 10 entries on the Top Country Albums chart as a female artist (48 entries), and having the longest span of No. 1 hits on the Top Country Albums chart (43 years, 156 days).

"Celebrating the longevity and success of Dolly Parton’s remarkable career with three more Guinness World Records titles was incredible. Dolly isn’t just a legend, she is officially amazing!” adjudicator Michael Empric said via a statement.
The 10-time Grammy winner's most recent records distinctions follow titles she received in December 2021. Parton won the most decades on the US hot country songs chart by a female artist (seven) and the most No. 1 hits on the chart by a female artist (25). Parton had previously won the third award, only to break her own record.
@DollyParton earns 3 new #GuinnessWorldRecords to her career. Watching @CBSNews’ anchor @NorahODonnell say all these beautiful things about her just made me revisit my #countrymusic playlist to remind me of the old good romantic days.

“This is the kind of stuff that really makes you very humble and very grateful for everything that’s happened,” Parton told the organization at the time. "I am flattered and honored. I’ve had a lot of people help me get here," she added. "Thanks to all of you and all of them for helping me have all of this."
Parton's next venture will be the release of her first-ever rock album, which will include guest appearances from other music superstars.
