The Dot label issued two more studio albums by Trask through 1972: Diana's Country and Diana Trask Sings About Lovin'. The LP's produced three charting singles including a pair of US top 40 country songs: "It Meant Nothing to Me" and "We've Got to Work It Out Between Us". Her next four singles made the US country songs top 20 between 1973 and 1974: "Say When", "It's a Man's World (If You Had a Man Like Mine)", "When I Get My Hands on You" and "Lean It All on Me". Additionally, "Say When" reached number eight on the RPM country chart in Canada. The songs were included on the studio albums It's a Man's World and Lean It All on Me. Her 1974 single "Oh Boy" rose into the US country top 30, the Canadian country top 20 and number ten on Australia's Kent Music Report chart.
Four more of Trask's singles made the US country songs chart through 1981. The Hammard label issued two studio albums of her material in the 1980s, including 1981's One Day at a Time, which was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association. Both One Day at a Time and its follow-up, Footprints, reached the Australian albums chart in the early 1980s. A collaborative compilation album with Allison Durbin titled Nothing But the Very Best reached the Australian albums top 100 in 1982. It was not until 2010 that Trask released her next studio album titled Country Lovin'. She has since released two more studio albums and an EP since 2017.
