It was followed by "Come On-a My House", her first number one US single, along with reaching the Australian top ten. In 1952, "Half as Much" topped the US and Australian charts, while "Botch-a-Me" reached the top five in both countries.
From 1951–52, Clooney collaborated on singles with Guy Mitchell, Marlene Dietrich and Gene Autry. Her highest-charting was a top ten Autry collaboration titled "The Nightmare Before Christmas Song".

Its B-side, "This Ole House", also topped the US chart, along with becoming her first to reach number one in the United Kingdom. Its follow-up, "Mambo Italiano", also placed at number one in the UK, while also peaking in the US and Australian top ten. Clooney's final top ten single was 1957's "Mangos", but various labels continued issuing singles through 1976. Among them was her final US pop-charting single ("Many a Wonderful Moment") and her only US adult contemporary-peaking single ("One Less Bell to Answer").
