In the early 1970s, several of his studio albums reached the number one position on the Billboard country chart: Just Plain Charley (1970), Charley Pride's 10th Album (1970), I'm Just Me (1971), Charley Pride Sings Heart Songs (1971), A Sunshiny Day with Charley Pride (1971), Songs of Love by Charley Pride (1972) and Amazing Love (1973).[5] These releases also charted the Billboard 200 survey. Charley Pride Sings Heart Songs was his most successful, climbing to number 38.[6] Pride's first studio record of gospel music was issued around the same time called, Did You Think to Pray.[7] Additionally, his first live album was also released during this period called In Person.[8] Pride's album output grew smaller as the decade progressed, with only one or two LP released per year by 1979. These albums remained successful and reached top ten positions on the country albums chart, including The Happiness of Having You (1975), Someone Loves You Honey (1978) and Burgers and Fries (1978).[5]
In 1980, Pride's tribute album to Hank Williams reached number one on the country albums list and spent 52 weeks charting.[9] His 1983 album of covers tunes reached number 36 on the same survey.[10] Disappointed with record sales, Pride left RCA in 1986 and signed with 16th Avenue Records.[1] His first studio release with the label reached number 18 on the country chart in 1987.[11] He released his final charting album in 1989.[5] Pride continued recording in the 1990s after signing with Honest Entertainment. In 1996, he released an album of old and new material on the label called My 6 Latest and 6 Greatest. He continued releasing new studio material until 2018 when his final album appeared on Music Row Records called Music in My Heart.[1]
