The "source" is wrong. If you you count all of her SOLO studio album (where she is the only credited album artist, regardless of features), it is her forty ninth. If you count ALL of her studio album (including those with Porter Wagoner), it is her 66th studio album. The number in the source is no correct.

Rockstar is the upcoming forty-ninth solo studio album by Dolly Parton. It is scheduled to be released on November 17, 2023, by Butterfly Records and Big Machine Records.[2][3] The album is a collaborative project with a variety of rock musicians, marking Parton's first foray into that genre.

Recording and release

Parton was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022 and initially declined the honor as she has a background in country music and not rock.[4] In response, she declared her intention to record an album of rock covers with a host of musical guests from that genre to justify her inclusion. Parton performed "Rockin'", an original song, at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

She reached out to a variety of dream collaborators over the course of several months and announced, including several of the artist she perfomed with at the Hall of Fame ceremony such as fellow 2022 inductees Pat Benatar, Neil Giraldo, Simon Le Bon and Rob Halford, and other guests Pink, Brandi Carlile and Sheryl Crow. Parton officially announced the recording on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on November 30.[5] She revealed the album release on the January 17, 2023 episode of The View[6] and previewed the track "World on Fire" on May 11.[1]

Prior to the reveal of the offical track listing, Parton had perfomed "Wrecking Ball" with her goddaughter Miley Cyrus at her New Year's Eve show. Parton performed the album's lead single "World on Fire" for the first time at the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards on May 11, 2023.[7]
