Her first-issued recordings were released in the mid 1940s, beginning with the US top 20 song, "Old Acquaintance". It was followed by her first US top song (and first number one Australian song), "Long Ago (and Far Away)". Nine more of Stafford's solo singles made the US top ten during the 1940s including "Day by Day" (1945), "Serenade of the Bells" (1947) and "Some Enchanted Evening" (1949). As a collaborative recording artist, Stafford first teamed with The Pied Pipers on the 1945 US top ten single, "The Trolley Song". During the decade, she also collaborated with Johnny Mercer, Red Ingle and Gordon MacRae. With Mercer, she topped the US chart (and reached the top 20 on the Australian chart) with "Candy" (1945). With Ingle, she topped the US chart with "Temptation (Tim-Tay-Shun)" (1947). With MacRae, Stafford reached the US top ten four times, including the number one single, "My Darling, My Darling" (1948).
Stafford had nine US top ten singles during the 1950s including "Tennessee Waltz" (1951), "Shrimp Boats" (1951) and "Keep It a Secret" (1952). Among her most successful solo releases was 1952's "You Belong to Me", which the topped charts in the US, Australia and the United Kingdom. It was followed by another US number-one single in 1953 titled "Make Love to Me". Her solo releases continued making the US and Australian charts through 1959. Collaboratively, Stafford joined Frankie Laine on nine singles during the decade. This included the US top ten songs "Hey, Good Lookin'" (1951) and "Hambone" (1952). Other collaborative singles included "Indiscretion" (a duet with Liberace) and "Good Nite" (a duet with Vic Damone). As one half of the comedic duo, Jonathan and Darlene Edwards, a 1967 cover of the song "Carioca" was issued as a single.
Between 1948 and 1950, Capitol Records issued five studio albums of Stafford's music. This began with American Folk Songs (1948), followed by two collaborative releases with Gordon MacRae: Kiss Me, Kate (1949) and Sunday Evening Songs (1950). Columbia Records then released 15 studio albums by Stafford during the 1950s. This began with As You Desire Me (1953) and later included My Heart's in the Highlands (1954), Soft and Sentimental (1955), A Gal Named Jo (1956) and Swingin' Down Broadway (1958). The label also issued two studio albums by Stafford as one half of Jonathan and Darlene Edwards: The Piano Artistry of Jonathan Edwards (1957) and Jonathan and Darlene Edwards in Paris (1960). Among her last studio releases were several albums issued in 1960s, including two 1966 Dot-label releases: Do I Hear a Waltz? and This Is Jo Stafford.
