For the first time in her career, Dolly Parton has debuted in the top 20 on Billboard's 200 album chart. Her first album in two years debuts at #13 there and #2 on the Country Albums chart. The last time she was in the the top rungs of either chart was in 1993.

"Backwoods Barbie" moved 27,000 copies in its first week on the chart. It marks Parton's best sales week since Christmas week 1993 when her collaborations album "Honky Tonk Angels," with Loretta Lynn and the late Tammy Wynette, did 40,000.

Parton's last #1 album was her 1991 effort, "Eagle When She Flies."

"Barbie" features Parton's first solo country top 40 hit since the early nineties. "Better Get To Living" marked her 110th appearance on Billboard's single chart.

Parton is scheduled to tour the world in support of "Barbie."
