Today, BWW celebrates the 75th birthday of living legend Barbra Streisand with a look back at her top Billboard 100 hits. Streisand made her debut on the charts with 1964's "People" from the film FUNNY GIRL. Competing against such strong contenders as The Beatles that year, the tune climbed all the way to the No. 5 spot that June. Overall, the singer has entered the Billboard Hot 100 41 times, including 12 top 10's, with five hitting No. 1.

The eight-time Grammy Award winner can also boast 11 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart, the most of any woman. In addition, she is the only act with a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 in each of the last six decades (1960s through the 2010s).
