Content: Sherrill kept Mandrell with the label until 1975. 1975–1984: Country-pop
In 1975, Mandrell jumped to the ABC/Dot label, and under the guidance of producer Tom Collins, reached the top five for the first time with the single "Standing Room Only". After a series of successive hits, she scored her first Billboard number one with 1978's "Sleeping Single in a Double Bed", immediately followed by another chart-topper, " (If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right" in early 1979. " If Loving You Is Wrong" was also a major crossover smash, becoming Mandrell's only single to reach the top 40 on the pop chart, peaking at number 31. The song also peaked in the top 10 on the adult contemporary music charts. During the 1980s, Mandrell had more hits, including " Crackers " and " Wish You Were Here ". All of these singles and more reached the country top 10 and some also hit number one, including " Years ". Three more singles hit number one: " I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool", " 'Till You're Gone ", and " One of a Kind Pair of Fools ", between 1981 and 1983, a period during which Mandrell also received many industry awards and accolades.
