With her new release, Partners, that debuted at the top spot on this week’s Billboard 200 album chart, 72-year-old singer Barbra Streisand made history by becoming the first artist to release number one albums in each of the last six decades!

The talented entertainer posted a message on Facebook to express her joy at hearing that her latest release is No. 1 on the U.S. album chart.

“Being told that I’ve had No. 1 albums in six consecutive decades makes me feel truly blessed and grateful to have such loyal fans. I feel you rooting for me and I so appreciate all of your energy and support.
It’s especially sweet since I get to share this moment with my wonderfully talented partners who I had the pleasure of singing with: Michael Buble, Stevie Wonder, John Mayer, Babyface, Billy Joel, Blake Shelton, Lionel Richie, Andrea Bocelli, John Legend, Josh Groban, my beloved son Jason Gould… and last but not least, Elvis Presley… forever the King!

Finally, thank you to Rob Stringer and my Columbia Records family, my manager Marty Erlichman, my creative team on this project — Kenny Edmonds, Walter Afanasieff, Dave Reitzas, Bill Ross, and Jay Landers… and Ken Sunshine for getting the word out… We did it guys! With lots of love, Barbra.”
