What was the album that produced the single which broke the record for the most weeks spent at number one by a female country artist ?
Once a Day "Once a Day" is a song written by Bill Anderson and recorded as the debut single by American country artist Connie Smith. It was produced by Bob Ferguson for her self-titled debut album. The song was released in August 1964, topping the "Billboard" country music chart for eight weeks between late 1964 and early 1965. It was the first debut single by a female country artist to reach number one, and held the record for the most weeks spent at number one by a female country artist until it was surpassed by Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" in December 2012.
Heartbreak Express Heartbreak Express is Dolly Parton's 24th solo studio album. Released in April 1982, the album returned Parton to a more fully realized country sound (a process she had begun on the previous year's "9 to 5 and Odd Jobs"), after her late 1970s pop recordings. The album's first single, "Single Women", a slow-tempo honkytonk ballad about a singles bar, was written by "Saturday Night Live" writer Michael O'Donoghue, and had previously appeared in an "SNL" skit in late 1980. The single provided a top ten single for Parton. The title cut also was a top ten hit for her. "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind" (a song Parton had written in the early 1970s but had never "officially" recorded) appeared as a double-A-sided single (along with Parton's rerecording of "I Will Always Love You" from the "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas Soundtrack"), and reached #1 on the country charts in August 1982.
