Barbra Streisand has set a new record in US chart history by becoming the first artist to score number one albums in each of the last six decades.
The 72-year-old singer's first number one album 'People' was achieved almost 50 years ago in October 1964 and now she stands at number four in the all-time list of album chart-topping acts in the US, behind The Beatles, who lead the hall of fame with 19 number ones, the BBC reported.
Her albums which have reached the pinnacle of the US chart in previous decades include 'The Way We Were' in 1974 and two other '70s releases, while two of her records made the grade in the 1980s including 'Guilty', spawning a hit title track performed by Barry Gibb and the US number one single 'Woman In Love'.
Streisand had two number albums in the 1990s, while her most recent chart-topper was Love Is The Answer in 2009.
