In 1980, Lane's cover of the Christian piece titled "One Day at a Time" reached number one on the country chart.[1] The song became the most commercially-successful single of her music career and became a hit in multiple countries.[2] It was followed by Lane's final top ten country hit called "Sweet Sexy Eyes".[1] Both singles appeared on her 1980 studio album called Ask Me to Dance, which reached number 14 on the country albums chart.[4] In 1981, Lane's cover of ABBA's "I Have a Dream" reached the top 20 and appeared on an album of the same name.[2] She continued recording for her label through the 1980s. With United Artists (re-named Liberty Records), Lane released Here's to Us (1982) and Footprints in the Sand (1983). Both studio albums were her final to chart on the Billboard country LP's chart.[4] Lane and her husband also began marketing music on television. The marketing strategy allowed Lane to continue releasing compilation albums through the 1990s and 2000s.[1] Among her more recent compilations, 22 All Time Favorites, reached the Billboard country albums chart, peaking at number 62.[5]
