Dolly Parton’s music has returned to the Irish charts following the country music legend\u2019s death, with three of her best-known songs entering the Top 30.<\/p>\n

Jolene is the highest placed at number 18 on the Official Irish Singles Chart, while Islands in the Stream, her hit duet with Kenny Rogers, is at number 24.<\/p>\n

9 to 5 is also in the chart at number 28.<\/p>\n

Parton\u2019s music has also returned to the Irish albums Top 10, with Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection re-entering the Official Irish Albums Chart at number 10.<\/p>\n
