Dolly Parton Earns Her First Christian Music Top 10 Hit

After scoring 22 country #1 hits and 2 #1 Pop hits, Dolly Parton earns her first Christian music top 10 hit this week. Thanks to Zach Williams, their duet "There Was Jesus" enters the Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs and Christian Airplay charts. 

The pair's collaborative single, "There Was Jesus," slid into the Top 10 on both charts for the week dated July 11, hitting No. 7 on Hot Christian Songs and No. 8 on Christian Airplay. In addition to success in radio, the song netted 1.1 million U.S. streams and 3,000 downloads this week.

Though it's the first time she's made it this far up either chart, it's not quite the first time Parton has had a song on the Christian Airplay charts. Her duet version of For King & Country's "God Only Knows" broke the Top 50 last year.
