Earlier this month, Parton debuted her cover of “Let It Be” featuring Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. Now, the single from her upcoming covers album Rockstar has landed a spot on a number of Billboard charts, marking the first time in history that two Beatles are listed as separate artists on the same charting song
The single was released on August 19, 2023, ahead of the album’s November 17 release. McCartney contributed vocals and piano, while Starr played drums. The song also features guitar from Peter Frampton and additional percussion from Mick Fleetwood.

Parton’s “Let It Be” — named Consequence’s Song of the Week — has hit No. 2 on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, No. 15 on the Country Digital Song Sales chart, and No. 22 on the all-genre Digital Song Sales chart, all dated the week of September 2nd. The song is credited to “Dolly Parton, featuring Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr” (Peter Frampton and Mick Fleetwood also contributed to the track, but aren’t listed as featured artists).

Thus, Parton’s “Let It Be” marks the first time that Starr and McCartney — or any former Beatles, for that matter — are listed as separate artists on the same charting song.
“Rockstar” is Parton’s 49th studio album and her first rock album.
