With the release of the diva’s latest album, [_Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway_](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/08/26/barbra-streisand-encore-celine-dion-encore-un-soir-ew-review), at the end of August, Babs achieved her 11th No. 1 album on the [Billboard 200 chart](http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7495997/barbra-streisand-earns-11th-no-1-album-on-billboard-200-album-chart). Streisand already held the record as the female artist with the most No. 1s — followed by Madonna, with eight — but she has now both extended her lead over Madge and tied for third most chart-toppers overall, sharing that spot on the list with Bruce Springsteen. Streisand and Springsteen are beat only by Jay-Z, in second with 13 No. 1s, and the Beatles, who earned a whopping 19. For _Encore_, Streisand teamed up with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars to perform duets of Broadway favorites, including _The Sound of Music_’s “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” [sung with Jamie Foxx](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/06/23/barbra-streisand-jamie-foxx-climb-evry-mountain), and _Smile_’s “Any Moment Now,” [with Hugh Jackman](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/07/29/barbra-streisand-hugh-jackman-any-moment-now-duet). Streisand’s other collaborators on the album include [Alec Baldwin](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/08/07/barbra-streisand-alec-baldwin-duet), Patrick Wilson, [Anne Hathaway](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/06/10/barbra-streisand-anne-hathaway-daisy-ridley), and Chris Pine. _This article originally appeared in_ [_Entertainment Weekly_](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/09/05/barbra-streisand-encore-billboard-200-record)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4479575/barbra-streisand-encore-billboard/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4479575/barbra-streisand-encore-billboard/"},"headline":"Barbra Streisand Breaks Her Own Record For Most No. 1 Albums","datePublished":"2016-09-06T03:10:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T00:24:19.034Z","description":"The icon nabs another hit with her latest album Encore","url":"https://time.com/4479575/barbra-streisand-encore-billboard/","keywords":["Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc0f60c33bf4e89b2/6988a4d8428a9e09e3cd4246/gettyimages-588644390.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mary Sollosi / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc0f60c33bf4e89b2/6988a4d8428a9e09e3cd4246/gettyimages-588644390.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Barbra - The Music...
