May 31: When the June 5 edition of Billboard is released, Trio II will have fallen off the pop 200 charts. Charting at No. 181 in the May 29 edition, the CD spent 14 weeks on the pop charts, peaking at No. 62. This compares to only two weeks and a top position of No. 167 for Dolly's most recent major label solo release, last year's Hungry Again.

May 15: New CNN article and Nashville Tennessean review added to Trio page.

May 13: Dolly has another Country Weekly article. Click here. Thanks Corey!

May 12: Dollymania last night welcomed its 10,000th visitor since I started keeping count in October. Thanks to all who have stopped by.

* The Trio turned up in a couple of places in this week's issue of Billboard. Chet Flippo closes his weekly Nashville Scene column noting, "Praise Be: George Jones is back on country radio, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson are charting albums again, as are Emmylou, Dolly and Linda with Trio II. Tell me there's not a God." And in an in-depth interview with several of country music's leading song publishers, Sony/ATV Tree president and CEO Donna Hilley said, "The other day I decided I wanted the new George Stephanopolous book and the Monica (Lewinsky) book, so my husband ordered them for me on Amazon.com. I was watching the screen and the Trio album came up, and I said, 'Oh, buy that, too.' Then at dinner the other night with six other women, it turned out that all of us had ordered the same three things from Amazon.com. That album is not being played on the radio, but it's selling. Things are changing."

May 6: Country Weekly reports that Vince Gill just finished producing the debut album for Sonya Issacs to be released in August featuring background vocals by Dolly. Thanks Tony!

* If you saw the introduction of Jo Dee Messina last night at the ACM Awards, did you catch the error? She was said to be the first female country performer to have three consecutive multi-week No. 1 hits. Of course, die-hard Dolly fans know Miss Dolly did it first 21 years ago: "Here You Come Again" stayed at No. 1 five weeks in December 1977, followed by her next single "It's All Wrong, But It's All Right" for two weeks in May 1978 and then her next single "Heartbreaker" for three weeks in September and October 1978.

May 5: The New York Daily News reported this week on one of Dolly's upcoming Lifetime movies in its preview of the next television season, noting that films in development at the network include "Blue Valley Songbird, with Dolly Parton as a Tennessee woman who flees her abusive father to seek a career in country music."
