Wynette's next single release, "Stand by Your Man", would become her biggest solo hit. The song peaked at number 1 on the country singles chart and crossed over to number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2][3] Over the next several years, Wynette had several number 1 hits on the Billboard country chart including "Singing My Song",[4] "The Ways to Love a Man",[5] "He Loves Me All the Way"[6] and "Kids Say the Darndest Things".[7] After several more top ten singles, "'Til I Can Make It on My Own" and "You and Me" both reached number 1 on the country songs chart in 1976. Wynette continued having a series of top 10 singles through the remainder of the decade, including[8] "(Let's Get Together) One Last Time" (1977) and "Womanhood" (1978).[9]
Beginning in 1980, Wynette's singles began peaking outside the top 10. She continued having major hits in the top 20 of the Billboard country chart with "He Was There (When I Needed You)" (1980) and "Crying in the Rain" (1981).[9] Wynette's 1982 single "Another Chance" reached the top 10 of the country chart as well as a cover version of "Sometimes When We Touch" in 1985.[8] In 1987, she had two major hits from the album Higher Ground including "Your Love".[9] In 1991, Wynette collaborated with British electronic band The KLF on the song "Justified and Ancient". The song became a major international hit single.[10] Wynette's final chart appearance was a reissue of "Stand by Your Man", which peaked at number 56 in 1998.[9]
