Barbra Streisand has made history with her new album. Her latest release, Partners, debuted on top of the charts in the US, Billboard said, making her the only recording artist to issue number-one albums in six consecutive decades.
The 72-year-old singer thanked her fans, saying she appreciates their energy and support.
Partners, which hit stores last week, is a collection of duets featuring such talents as Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder and Michael Bublé.
Streisand’s first number-one album came out almost 50 years ago: People topped the charts in October 1964.
Her other top albums include The Way We Were, A Star is Born, The Broadway Album and Love is the Answer.
