Her singles discography also contains two other charted songs and 14 music videos that were released in conjunction with singles and songs.

Harris's first single to chart was 1975's "Too Far Gone". However, it was her next single "If I Could Only Win Your Love" that reached the top ten of America's Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. It also topped Canada's RPM country chart and made the Billboard Hot 100. The 1976 single "Together Again" was Harris's first to reach number one on the Billboard country chart. It also made the top 20 on the Belgian and Dutch pop charts.

Harris topped the Billboard and RPM country charts four more times through 1978 with "Sweet Dreams", "Making Believe", "To Daddy" and "Two More Bottles of Wine". Additionally "One of These Days", "You Never Can Tell", "Save the Last Dance for Me" and "Blue Kentucky Girl" made the American and Canadian country top ten through 1979.

In 1980, "Beneath Still Waters" topped the Billboard and RPM country charts. "That Lovin' You Feelin' Again", a duet with Roy Orbison was a top ten country and adult contemporary single, while also becoming her second to make the Hot 100. In 1981, "Mister Sandman" became Harris's only top 40 Hot 100 entry, while also reaching multiple chart positions internationally. Through 1984, further singles reached the Billboard and RPM top ten including "Tennessee Rose", "Born to Run" and "Pledging My Love".

The 1982 single "(Lost His Love) On Our Last Date" went topped the Billboard country chart. In 1987, Harris collaborated alongside Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt for three top ten singles beginning with "To Know Him Is to Love Him". In 1989, Harris had a solo top ten single with "Heartbreak Hill". Harris's solo singles continued making the American and Canadian country charts through 1994. Her final to do so was "Thanks to You", which peaked outside the top 40 in both countries. Reuniting with Parton and Ronstadt in 1999, their single "High Sierra" made the RPM country chart. During this period a duet between Harris and Ronstadt called "Feels Like Home" made RPM's adult contemporary chart.

Harris was featured on several singles during this period including Southern Pacific's "Thing About You" and Earl Thomas Conley's "We Believe in Happy Endings". The latter topped the country charts in the United States and Canada. During the 1990s and 2000s, Harris's solo studio albums spawned mostly non-charting singles. A collaborative single between Mark Knopfler and Harris called "This Is Us" reached the top five on the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay chart in 2006.
