Barbra Streisand has made US chart history this week with her tenth studio album topping the charts, beating R&B thug Chris Brown.
Streisand has become the first artist in the country to have a number one album in each of the last six decades and the only US female artist to have had 10 number one albums. The singer now stands at number four in the all time list of chart-toppers, behind the Beatles with 19.
Despite his ugly history of domestic abuse, Chris Brown's 'X' went straight in to the number two slot with 146,000 copies sold in the first week against Streisand's considerable 196,000. X however is Brown's most successful chart rating since 2011's F.A.M.E. which sold 270,000 copies in it's opening week.
'Partners' is out now via Columbia Records as is 'X' with RCA.
