Spotify mistakenly uploaded Irish lyrics for Dolly Parton’s Welsh Jolene version
Spotify removed incorrect Irish lyrics after the BBC reported that they appeared on a posthumous Welsh release of Dolly Parton's song Jolene.
Error identified on streaming platform
The lyrics for the track were displayed in Irish instead of Welsh or English. Spotify took down the incorrect text after the BBC contacted them for comment. The single featuring Dolly Parton and Bronwen Lewis was released on 9 October.
Song recorded before artist death
The recording session took place before Dolly Parton died on 25 August. This release marks the second posthumous single from the country music legend. The song originally appeared in 1973 and has since received over one billion streams.
