The music icon's 35th studio album Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway tops this week’s tally with 20,000 combined sales, giving Streisand her seventh Official Number 1 album.

The star is now only second to Madonna (who has notched up 12 Number 1s) when it comes to chart-topping albums in the UK among female solo acts.

Elsewhere, Britney Spears is new at Number 2 with her ninth album Glory. The entry marks a fifth Number 2 album for the superstar, following Baby One More Time (1999), Oops! I Did It Again (2000), Greatest Hits – My Prerogative (2004) and Blackout (2007).

Last week's Number 1 Blonde by Frank Ocean slips to 3, Dolly Parton's Pure & Simple is at 4, and US duo Twenty One Pilots reach a new peak with their latest album Blurryface, jumping six places to Number 5.

Today is a great day for legends. Both Barbra and Celine are slaying.

Too Good : 41-23-8-6-7-6-5-5-3-3-6-6-10-8-8-10-10-10
One Dance : 21-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-5-5-6-8-8-8

Monsters.
21 weeks in the top10 for One Dance, coming for Bieber's record.

you can't be serious.
She has sold 11-13k. Numbers coming in less than a hour.

The improvement, she sold on par with BJ despite of the latter being released 3 years ago in December.

Nice Frank still holding well.

Wow! Britney did really well

So Closer ended up blocking CD in US and LMLY in UK

Britney's fifth #2 album. Oh my. But at least, it's on the same peak with Blackout.

Career longevity

Barbra earning 7th #1 after 60 years

ANTI not going #1 in the UK because of the lack of even a radio interview was a crime



Happy for Britney, she did well

Aww Britney I wanted Glory to be her first #1 album in the UK.

Barbra

5 Number 2 albums is so tragic, I can't believe none her first four albums didn't go to number 1

From Music Week:

Streisand's success means that Britney Spears' wait for a No.1 continues. The 34-year old's ninth studio album, Glory, becomes her fifth No.2 album, a sequence that stretches back to her 1999 debut ...Baby One More Time, and also includes 2000's Oops!...I Did It Again, 2007's Blackout and 2004 compilation Greatest Hits: My Prerogative.

Glory sold 10,123 copies last week (including 1,304 from streams) and made a significantly higher debut than her last studio set, Britney Jean, which debuted and peaked at No.34 in 2013, although on greater sales - 12,959 - in the much more competitive December market.

Hmm so ANTI could have gone #1 for like half of the 2016 weeks + TIWYCF was blocked despite having weeks with +100k while the latest #1s got barely 70k. Lemme fume a bit.

Glory sold 10k copies!

Those are units, Glory sold 8,800... Still great.
