It's official this evening from Billboard via the RIAA! Barbra Streisand is the voice of a lifetime. OUR lifetime. Legendary singer Barbra Streisand has made music history yet again- this time for having ten of her albums reach #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Her latest album 'Partners,' was just released on September 16th from Columbia Records, and sold over 196,000+ copies in its first week. This makes Streisand the female artist with the most #1 albums and the first artist with #1's in each of the six decades of her career. It's no wonder she remains 'Broadway's greatest export.'

The star was all over the press to promote the album, including her first appearance on late night TV in 50 years, singing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Streisand's nine other #1 albums include: People (1964), The Way We Were (1974), A Star Is Born Soundtrack (1977), Barbra Streisand's Greatest Hits, Volume 2 (1979), Guilty (1980), The Broadway Album (1986), Back to Broadway (1993), Higher Ground (1997), and Love is the Answer (2009).
