SHOP.COM(TM) Partners With CMT.com and Internationally Renowned Superstar Dolly Parton

Award-Winning Comparison Shopping Site Launches Web's First 'DollySHOP' and Special Contest to Kick-Off the Holiday Season

SHOP.COM (www.shop.com), the destination comparison shopping site designed for busy women, and CMT.com, the leading destination for country music fans, together with Dolly Records today announced a unique partnership. The holiday-timed promotion features the creation of the "DollySHOP" (www.shop.com/dollyshop), a special online marketplace for fans of country music and entertainment icon Dolly Parton. An additional highlight is a sweepstakes offering consumers holiday shopping sprees on SHOP.COM, plus the chance to win a personal phone call with Dolly Parton. CMT.com will serve as a promotional partner for the new shopping destination.

Beginning today through mid-January 2010, SHOP.COM's DollySHOP will pay unique tribute to the career of Dolly Parton, an international superstar who has garnered seven Grammy Awards, 10 Country Music Association Awards, and is one of only five female artists to win the Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year Award. The special e-commerce site features a video greeting from Dolly Parton and her collections of music, merchandise and collectibles, including the new 2-disc set, "Dolly: Live from London" CD/DVD. With highlights from two majestic sold-out shows at London's O2 Arena, the set features 15 of her mega hits performed live, and this is the first DVD that shows the globally renowned superstar in all of her splendor live. Classics like "Here You Come Again," "I Will Always Love You," "Two Doors Down," "9 to 5," Islands in the Stream" and "Jolene," and modern hits such as "Better Get To Livin'," "Backwoods Barbie" and "Jesus and Gravity" -- all from her critically acclaimed 2008 album, "Backwoods Barbie" -- round out an unforgettable set list.

"I'm a busy gal who loves to shop online, but it's not always easy to find what I'm looking for. That's why I'm so happy to learn that SHOP.COM is a one-stop shop for virtually anything, which I'm proud to say now includes Dolly merchandise," said Dolly Parton.

"We couldn't be more pleased than to be in business with an artist of the caliber of Dolly Parton," said Ken Goldstein, Chairman & CEO of SHOP.COM. "We have established a solid track record with one-of-a-kind celebrity-themed promotions that appeal to our loyal customers, and this partnership with CMT represents a strategic alliance that will help SHOP.COM build our brand with a wider audience."

Occurring now through December 13, the Holly Dolly Christmas Sweepstakes will reward one lucky winner a $2,500 shopping spree on SHOP.COM, a prize pack autographed by Dolly Parton, and a rare opportunity to personally speak with the artist.

About Dolly Records

DOLLY PARTON's Dolly Records debuted in 2008 with her "Backwoods Barbie" CD. Marking the legendary singer's first mainstream country album in 17 years, the critically acclaimed CD entered the Top 200 Albums chart at #17 and at #2 on both the Country Album and Indie Album charts. It also marked DOLLY's highest album debut ever on the Billboard pop albums chart and first entry into the Top 20 since 1993's "Slow Dancing With The Moon." The album produced four singles: "Better Get To Livin'," "Jesus & Gravity," "Shinola" and "Backwoods Barbie." The latter song was featured in the acclaimed Broadway show "9-5: The Musical," for which Dolly wrote all the music and lyrics. The Tony Award-nominated score spawned the second release from Dolly Records: The "Original Broadway Cast Recording of 9 to 5: The Musical" (2009). The label's third release is the 2-disc DVD/CD set "DOLLY: LIVE FROM LONDON," featuring highlights from two majestic sold-out shows at London's massive O2 Arena. This November 2009 release is the first DVD that shows the globally renowned superstar in all of her splendor live.
