Throughout much of 2024, Dolly Parton has been very successful. She has been doing very well on the Billboard charts for many years now with both new and old releases. As a cherished singer and songwriter, it seems like she won't be stopping anytime soon. Recently, she got another important success with a very unusual collaboration.

In the latest Digital Song Sales chart, Dolly Parton introduces her latest song "Powerful Women" at the 8th position. According to Luminate, the melody had a sale of 3,666 copies during the previous tracking period, and this is not its initial accomplishment.

This is a great achievement for any song in the current music industry where streaming is king. This is proven by the song's impressive debut in the top 10 on the Digital Song sales chart. The number becomes even more noteworthy when compared to the song's sales from the previous week, where it only sold 211 copies. This shows that the song's sales have increased by over 1,700% from one week to the next, which is truly remarkable.

Dolly Parton has achieved her third top 10 hit on the Digital Song Sales chart with her song "Powerful Women". Although she is a highly acclaimed musician, she has not had many big hits on this chart as it was created after her most famous singles were released. Nevertheless, she has now gained another hit on this chart.

The artist who won a Grammy award managed to reach the top level on the Digital Song Sales chart fairly recently, in 2020. During that year, she almost dominated the rankings for the first time with her song "Islands in the Stream," which she worked on with Kenny Rogers. The track managed to climb all the way up to the second position on the chart, and its popularity increased even more after Rogers passed away.

Parton made a comeback on the Digital Song Sales chart last year with a new and unique song. Her track, "World on Fire," rose to the fourth spot on the chart, and fans from all over the United States eagerly embraced the fresh and original music from the celebrated singer. Additionally, "World on Fire" was significant because it was the lead single from Parton's forthcoming album Rockstar, which was going to be a deviation from her usual country style.

Parton achieved a new victory by collaborating with rapper Pitbull. The famous Latin artist, who mixes hip-hop and pop, sought the expertise of the iconic musician for one of the most peculiar, yet thriving, duets of the year 2024. The track, titled "Powerful Women," features the chorus from Parton's "9 to 5," and in addition, she composed and executed a rap section for the piece.

Pitbull’s latest hit, “Powerful Women,” has climbed to number 10 on the charts, making it his seventeenth song to reach this level of success. The only other time Pitbull hit number one on the Digital Song Sales chart was over ten years ago with Kesha, when their song “Timber” stayed in the top spot for four weeks.
