Dolly releases 24th solo album, ‘Heartbreak Express’

In 1982, Dolly released her 24th solo studio album, “Heartbreak Express,” aiming to return to a more fully realized country sound after her late 1970s pop efforts.

The song “Hollywood Potters” came out of Dolly’s experience filming “9 to 5.” She references watching many of the film’s extras and bit players on set who worked so hard to catch a big break in the industry with very little success.

The title song as well as “Single Women” reached No. 7 and No. 8, respectively, on the U.S. Country Music Singles Charts. The album reached No. 5 in the U.S. Country Album Charts and No. 106 on the U.S. Top 200 Charts.
