Barbra Streisand's album Love is the Answer, which debuted #1 on the US charts and continues to hold that spot, is now also #1 on the UK charts -- marking the first time that one of the singer's albums has been #1 on both sides of the Atlantic.

As previously reported, the album sold 180,415 copies for its first week of September 29th. With this debut, Streisand is now tied with the Beatles for 3rd place behind Frank Sinatra (41) and Rolling Stones (36) for top 10 album first week sales.

On Love Is The Answer, the first full-length collection of new studio recordings from Streisand since 2005's Guilty Pleasures, the singer works with Grammy Award-winning jazz artist Diana Krall and her quartet, along with the Grammy-winning arranger Johnny Mandel, who worked with Streisand on her 1993 Back to Broadway CD.

Streisand appeared on Broadway in I Can Get It For You Wholesale and Funny Girl. Her films include Funny Girl, Funny Lady, Yentl, and Nuts. She has won the Oscar, Grammy, and Emmy Awards, a special Tony Award, and is a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honor.
