The duet version of “Home Sweet Home” charts at No. 1 for the first time 40 years after its original release
Rock legends Mötley Crüe and globally beloved superstar Dolly Parton have debuted at No. 1 on the Mediabase Classic Rock Songs chart with their heartfelt duet of the Mötley Crüe classic, “Home Sweet Home,” released via BMG. The reimagined duet version coincides with the 40th anniversary of the original 1985 release of “Home Sweet Home,” featured on the band’s third full-length album, Theatre of Pain, and marks the first No. 1 for the song.
To drive home the song’s positive message of hope, a portion of the proceeds from the single will benefit Covenant House, an organization close to the hearts of the members of Mötley Crüe. Covenant House provides safe shelter, meals, hope and more to help youth experiencing homelessness.
The achievement represents the second time Mötley Crüe members and Parton find themselves atop the chart together with a No. 1 debut. Nikki Sixx and John 5 appeared as special guests on Parton’s song “Bygones” off her No. 1 gold-selling Rockstar album, released last year via Butterfly Records/Big Machine Label Group.
The reimagined version of “Home Sweet Home” featuring Parton is part of Mötley Crüe’s forthcoming new singles collection, From The Beginning, set to drop on September 12th via BMG, the same day that the legendary rockers will kick off their highly anticipated ten-show residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas.
The official video for the track, which pays homage to the classic original video for the song from 1985, surpassed 1 million views on YouTube.
A limited edition Dölly Crüe merch collection is available now.
