72 And Still Number One!

“Partners” (Columbia), Ms. Streisand’s 34th studio release, featuring duets with stars like Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder and Josh Groban — as well as one with her son, Jason Gould — opened at No. 1 on Billboard’s new chart, with 196,000 sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Ms. Streisand, 72, has now had a total of 10 No. 1 albums in her career, and, as Billboard notes, she is the first artist to reach the top of the chart in each of the last six decades. The first time was with the album “People” in 1964, and most recently “Love Is the Answer,” in 2009. (Her last release, “What Matters Most,” from 2011, went as high as No. 4.)
