Streisand scores sixth UK No.1 album
Barbra Streisand has notched up her sixth number one on the UK albums chart.

Love Is The Answer, a collection of jazz standards produced by Diana Krall, climbs from four to the top spot in its second week on release.

The album, the veteran singer's first studio set since 2005, is also number one in the US this week.

Behind Streisand, Madonna's Celebration compilation remains at two, while last week's best-seller, Brand New Eyes by Paramore, slips to three.

New entries in the top ten come from Chris Rea and Andy Williams, who land at eight and ten respectively with 'Best Of' sets.
