Boone's debut album of the same name reached number six on the US Billboard 200, number one on the Canadian RPM Top Albums chart and certified platinum in sales in the US.

Both were included on her second studio album, Midstream (1978).

In 1979, Boone's eponymous third studio album was released which produced the top 20 US and Canadian country single, "My Heart Has a Mind of Its Own".

The LP also included "Are You on the Road to Lovin' Me Again", which reached number one on the US Hot Country Songs chart. It was followed by the top 20 US country song, "Free to Be Lonely Again". During this period, Boone issued the studio album, With My Song, her first LP to reach the US Top Christian Albums chart. Four more studio albums were issued during the 1980s that made the US Christian Albums chart including three that reached the top ten: Surrender (1983), Choose Life (1985) and Friends for Life.

Following her 1989 Christmas album, Home for Christmas, Boone did not release another studio album until 2005's Reflections of Rosemary. It was followed eight years later by the 2013 album, Swing This.
