Did you know Dolly Parton has a secret song that won’t be released until her 100th birthday in 2046? I mean know you do.
It’s called “My Place in History”, and it was written to be her last. The song title speaks for itself.
It’s currently locked in a wooden “Dream Box” time capsule at Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort. While we wait for 20 years, it’s a perfect time to revisit all 25 of her hits that reached #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart.
