Anderson had her biggest song success after switching to Columbia Records in 1970. Her second Columbia single, "Rose Garden", became the biggest hit of her career. [1] The song reached number one on the Billboard country chart and was her first to crossover onto the Billboard Hot 100, where it reached number three. [3] [4] "Rose Garden" would also become a hit in 16 other countries. Anderson followed the song with two more number one hits on the Billboard country chart: "You're My Man" and "How Can I Unlove You". [1]

Her cover version of "Cry" became a top five country hit and minor pop hit in 1972. [5] [6] This was followed by "Keep Me in Mind" (1973) and "What a Man My Man Is" (1974), which both topped the Billboard country survey. [1] Anderson was also the first artist to release and have a hit with "Top of the World", a song that was later a number one pop hit for The Carpenters. [2] As the decade progressed, Anderson's singles were less successful. [1] She had top 20 Billboard country hits during this time with "He Turns It into Love Again" (1977) and "Wrap Your Love All Around Your Man" (1977). [2] In 1979, she had a top ten hit with "Isn't It Always Love" before leaving Columbia Records in 1981. [1]

Anderson returned in 1983 after a short hiatus with "What I Learned from Loving You". The song reached number 18 on the Billboard country songs chart. [7] It was followed in 1984 by "You're Welcome to Tonight", a duet with Gary Morris that reached number nine on the country survey. [8] Her 1988 cover of "Under the Boardwalk" reached number 24 on the country singles chart in 1988. [9] In 1989, "How Many Hearts" became her final single to make the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, peaking at number 69. [10] Although she continued recording, Anderson released fewer singles towards the end of her career. Her final singles were released in 2015. [1]
