Though it’s the first time she’s made it this far up either chart, it’s not quite the first time Parton has had a song on the Christian Airplay charts. Her duet version of For King & Country’s \"God Only Knows\" broke the Top 50 last year.

While Christian radio is relatively new territory for Parton, she’s no stranger to hits. Over the course of her impressive country career, she has scored 55 Top 10s and 25 chart-topping singles on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
