STREISAND THANKS FANS FOR PUTTING HER ON TOP OF THE CHARTS AGAIN

BARBRA STREISAND has thanked fans for putting her back at the top of the U.S. album charts with a heartfelt Internet message.
The singer stunned experts by beating Paramore and Mariah Carey to the top of the countdown on Wednesday (07Oct09) and then took to her official website to thank the 180,000 devotees who bought her new record Love Is The Answer, which was released last week (29Sep09).
Streisand writes, "I was just told that Love Is The Answer came out at number one, and I want to share that honor with all of you... my fans, my friends... who have made that possible.
"I want to share it as well with Diana Krall and Tommy LiPuma and everyone who worked on the album... with Jay Landers and especially my manager Marty Erlichman and my team at Columbia Records.
"You'd think that getting the news that you've been number one in five consecutive decades would make you feel old, but this makes me feel young. Thank you all."
The album is the singer's 63rd release and her ninth number one.
