This one is pretty good.
HERE SHE COMES AGAIN: After waiting patiently at No. 2 for two weeks, Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton capture the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart with "When I Get Where I'm Going" (Arista), replacing Carrie Underwood's "Jesus, Take the Wheel" (Arista) after a six-week reign.
It's the fifth chart-topper for Paisley and his first since "Mud on the Tires" held pole position the week of Feb. 5, 2005. It's the 25th No. 1 for Parton, and her first since she teamed with Ricky Van Shelton on "Rockin' Years," which led the list dated May 4, 1991. The 14 years and nine month gap between "Rockin' Years" and "When I Get Where I'm Going" is the longest break between No. 1 hits for Parton since the three years that elapsed between her first No. 1, "Joshua," and her second, "Jolene," in 1974.
Parton was already the female country artist with the most No. 1s on this chart. She pulls away from second-place Reba McEntire, who collected her 22nd No. 1 the week of Aug. 7, 2004, with "Somebody." That song allowed McEntire to claim the longest span of No. 1 hits by a solo female on the Hot Country Songs chart, with 21 years and seven months between "Can't Even Get the Blues" in January 1983 and "Someday."
Parton fell to second place, with a 20 year and three month span between "Joshua" in February 1971 and "Rockin' Years." Parton takes back the title for the longest span of No. 1 hits by a solo female artist, with 35 years and one month between "Joshua" and "When I Get Where I'm Going." Reba won't be able to match that until February 2018, and Carrie Underwood will have to wait until March 2041.
On the Hot 100, "When I Get Where I'm Going" slips 39-40, but it is still Parton's highest-charting song since "Islands in the Stream," her duet with Kenny Rogers, went to No. 1 in October 1983. The partnership with Paisley is Parton's first appearance on the Hot 100 since she peaked at No. 50 with "Romeo" in April 1993.
