Listeners are turning to Dolly Parton‘s music in droves after the beloved country icon died this week at age 80.
According to data Spotify shared on Wednesday, the streaming service said Parton’s overall streams skyrocketed over 1,260 percent globally on Aug. 25 compared to the seven day average daily average from Aug. 18 to Aug. 24, and an even higher 2,320 percent in the U.S. alone. Seven of Parton’s songs made it into the company’s U.S. daily top songs chart yesterday, with “Jolene” and “9 to 5” taking the No. 2 and 3 slots. “Islands in the Stream” jumped to No. 8.
Spotify didn’t share specific stream counts but provided percentage changes for many of Parton’s top-streamed songs from yesterday.
“Jolene” streams jumped 630 percent globally and 1,225 percent in the U.S., Spotify said, while “9 to 5’s” bumped 630 percent globally and 1,030 percent domestically. Given that some of her smaller hits weren’t streamed as frequently prior to her passing, those tracks had much larger percentage jumps; “My Tennessee Mountain Home,” for example, saw a massive 8,920 percent jump in the U.S. yesterday, while “Coat of Many Colors” saw a 5,330 growth.
In order of streams, Parton’s most-streamed songs on Spotify yesterday were “Jolene,” “9 to 5,” “Islands in the Stream,” “I Will Always Love You,” “Here You Come Again,” “Coat of Many Colors,” “Tyrant,” Why’d You Come in Here Lookin’ Like That,” “My Tennessee Mountain Home” and “There Was Jesus.”
