- Dolly Parton — the market puts it at 15%, closing 26 Dec 2026. The outcome is Yes if Dolly Parton appears on a top 10 song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart by the issue dated for the week of December 26, 2026. The outcome is No if she does not meet this requirement by that specific date. Readers often mistake the deadline as the end of the calendar year or confuse any chart appearance with a top 10 ranking.
