How many albums has Dolly sold?
In her 1995 autobiography, it was noted that she had sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. This, of course, did not include the eight albums released after that date (which collectively have sold more than 2 million copies) and apparently did not include any sales of singles. It also likely did not include most of the hundreds of “budget” compilation albums and many of the re-issues of some of her classic RCA albums. Addition of those items should push the total past 100 million. And in materials promoting a 2003 compilation CD The Ultimate Dolly Parton, BMG Records (parent company to RCA) stated that she has sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
