During the 1940s decade, Fitzgerald made the US top ten ten more times. Most of these recordings were collaborations, notably topping the charts with The Ink Spots in 1944: "Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall" and "I'm Making Believe". She also reached the top ten alongside The Song Spinners and The Delta Rhythm Boys on songs like "It's Only a Paper Moon", "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons" and "My Happiness". Alongside Louis Jordan, she reached the US top ten with "Stone Cold Dead in the Market (He Had It Coming)" and "Baby, It's Cold Outside". Additionally, singles like "It's Too Soon to Know" and "That's My Desire" placed in the top five on the US R&B chart.

During the 1950s decade, Fitzgerald made the US top 40 six times with titles like "Smooth Sailing", "Trying" and "Melancholy Me". Her most successful US single was 1953's "Crying in the Chapel", which rose to number 15 on the US chart. In Australia, Fitzgerald found greater commercial success with the top ten entries "A Guy Is a Guy", "Because of Rain" and "A Satisfied Mind".
