Signed to RCA Records in the spring of 1980, the band quickly superseded the accomplishments of those first two top 40 country with the massive country rocker "Tennessee River." The song became the band's first No. 1 hit, and for the rest of TheEighties, the band sent single after single into the penthouse, missing only ''once'' that entire rest of the decade with the No. 7 "Tar Top." In the first half of the decade, many of the band's singles also crossed over to pop radio, including "Feels So Right," "Love in the First Degree," "Take Me Down" and "The Closer You Get," all of which reached Top 40 on the pop charts. Alabama also employed a distinctive crossover sound, blending the strong rhythm sections of rock and the breezy soft-rock harmonies of the Music/{{Eagles}} with plenty of fiddle solos and country-friendly lyrics. They were also one of the first country groups to play all their own instruments on records(with the exception of most of Herndon's drum tracks being replaced by electronic drums for much of the '80s), for writing many of their hits themselves, and for having a stage presence that closely mirrored traditional rock band staging: Herndon at the rear, Owen in front of him, and Cook and Gentry on Owen's right and left respectively. Their success was such that in 1989 they were named "Artist of the ''Decade''" at the Academy of Country Music awards.
The band's momentum slowed a bit come the 1990s, despite its biggest No. 1 hit in 1990 with "Jukebox in My Mind." Although its last No. 1 hit came in 1993 with "Reckless," Alabama continued to chart consistently within the Top 10 until the end of the decade. Album sales, however, began to slip, and the crossovers just weren't coming on as strongly (save for a collaboration with Music/{{NSYNC}} on "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You"). Alabama charted its last Top 40 hit in 2001 with "When It All Goes South" and then effectively retired following a 2003 tour. Two albums of inspirational music followed in 2006 and 2007, and Owen released a solo album in 2008. Alabama has largely been semi-retired in TheNewTens, although Cook, Gentry, and Owen occasionally come out to do new projects, including a cover of "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" for a Music/WaylonJennings tribute and a guest appearance on Music/BradPaisley's "Old Alabama", both in 2011. They also did a duets album with various country artists covering their big hits and made their first "official" album in 11 years, ''Southern Drawl'', in 2015.

This year also saw the final breakdown of their sometimes-acrimonius relationship with Herndon, with Owen going as far as claiming he had never been a member of the band, and had only been presented as such due to RCA wanting the group to present an image similar to The Beatles.

"I Wanna Come Over" marked Alabama's first top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, but it was the second of those two songs – the southern rock-fused "My Home's in Alabama," the homage to their home and the story of their struggles – that put them on the map. "My Home's in Alabama" peaked at No. 17, but it went a long way toward paving the band to superstardom and led to them signing with Creator/RCARecords. Even though "I Wanna Come Over" would all but become forgotten, it did provide the template for the other side of Alabama's musical style: the mellow pop-styled ballad, which would be used on the far-better known singles "Feels So Right," "There's No Way" and "Forever's As Far As I'll Go."

After the weak performance of ''The Touch'' and ''Just Us'' in the late 80s, combined with Shedd's departure for Mercury, the band split production duties on ''Southern Star'': Barry Beckett produced half the album, and Josh Leo and Larry Michael Lee produced the other half. Leo and Lee stayed on board through 1993's ''Cheap Seats'', after which they switched to Garth Fundis (Music/DonWilliams, Music/TrishaYearwood) for new songs on ''Greatest Hits III'' in 1994, Emory Gordy Jr. (Music/PattyLoveless) for ''In Pictures'' in 1995, and Don Cook (Music/BrooksAndDunn) starting with ''Dancing on the Boulevard''. They also produced ''Southern Drawl'' by themselves.

** Their 1982 single "Christmas in Dixie" is one of the best-known country music Christmas songs ever. Not surprisingly, the band included it on ''several'' Christmas albums. "Angels Among Us" was ostensibly a Christmas song (it was released in 1993 with a Christmas song on the B-side, and typical of country Christmas songs at the time, re-charted for the next couple Christmases), but there's nothing particularly Christmas-y about it except for it taking place in winter.

** "Thistlehair (The Christmas Bear)" from their 1985 album tried to introduce a [[RememberTheNewGuy new Christmas character]]. In the song, Thistlehair was already loved by children everywhere, similar to how Rudolph was already "the most famous reindeer of all" when he was first introduced.

* BSide: Originally, "If You're Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band)" was the B-side to "I'm Not That Way Anymore", but radio programmers preferred the former song, so the sides were reversed after two weeks. "If You're Gonna Play in Texas" would go on to become one of their most famous songs.
