Country legend on being named the greatest of all time: “Can you believe this?”

Billboard recently released its list of the 100 Greatest Country Artists of All Time, and whenever there’s a list like that, there’s plenty to discuss.

Still, the site made a pretty good choice for the greatest artist of all time – Dolly Parton. This is also debatable, but most people can probably understand where she stands in the discussion.

However, Parton seemed surprised to get the top spot.

“I just found out that Billboard Magazine just released their list of the greatest country artists of all time and my name is at the top!” Parton said in a video posted to her X account. “Can you believe this?

“When I was a little girl, I would sit by the radio and listen to the Grand Ole Opry and hear all these big stars like Hank Williams, Kitty Well and Johnny Cash, and I would dream about what my life could be like. I just want to say a big thank you to the people at Billboard, but most of all to you, the fans, I don’t take any of this for granted. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to take my music around the world and see my dreams come true. I just know from the bottom of my heart, I will always love you. And I’ll always do that country music.”
