The Guinness World Records presented Parton with certificates honoring her achievements in Nashville last week. "This is the kind of stuff that really makes you very humble and very grateful for everything that's happened," Parton said. "I had no idea that I would be in Guinness World Records this many times! I am flattered and honored. I've had a lot of people help me get here. Thanks to all of you and all of them for helping me have all of this."

Parton first topped the Hot Country Songs chart in 1967 with "Something Fishy" and "Dumb Blonde." The song that helped Parton reach the chart in the 2020s is "Does He Love You," her collaboration with fellow country legend Reba McEntire. The remake of McEntire's 1993 hit was the first time Parton and McEntire recorded a song together.

"We've worked together so much and we've always said, 'We gotta do something together,'" Parton said last week of working with McEntire, reports Billboard. "But usually we were talking about doing a movie or something like that... that's one of the things I'm proudest of. I think it turned out really well."

Earlier this month, Parton was on the cover of PEOPLE's People of the Year issue, which recognized her philanthropic efforts in the past year. In late 2020, she donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University's research into the Moderna coronavirus vaccine. Her Dollywood Foundation also raised $700,000 for Tennessee flood victims in October. Parton's Imagination Library program recently rolled out in Kentucky, so it now provides free books for children in all 50 states.

Parton recently surprised fans on Thanksgiving when she shared a rare photo of her husband, Carl Dean. It was a throwback picture of the couple. Although Dean has been married to one of the biggest country music superstars in the world since 1966, he has rarely appeared in public. "Find you a partner who will support you like my Carl Dean does," Parton wrote in early November when she shared another old picture with Dean.
