Top singles from the past
23 February 2026
Fabulous country star DOLLY PARTON who celebrated her
80th birthday last month scored a major hit with 9 TO 5.
She topped the US Singles Charts today 45 years ago, on 23 February 1981
and stayed there for 2 weeks. It also went to #1 in Canada, top-10 in Australia,
New Zealand, South Africa and several European countries, but only #47 in
the UK.
The track was taken from the 1980 comedy film of the same name
with Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly herself in her film debut.
The song garnered Parton four Grammy Award nominations, winning
her the awards for Best Country Song and Best Country Vocal Performance.
For a time, the song became something of an anthem for office workers
in the US.
Let’s work, Dolly.
