Another Billboard #1 For Barbra!
STREISAND SCORES ANOTHER # 1 DEBUT WITH "ONE NIGHT ONLY;" DVD OF LEGEND'S RETURN TO CABARET PERFORMANCE TOPS MUSIC DVD CHART
After reigning for three weeks atop the 2009 music DVD charts in 2009 with her three disc offering, "Streisand The Concerts," Barbra Streisand returned to the #1 spot for the week ending May 11 with Columbia Records' "One Night Only - Barbra Streisand And Quartet At The Village Vanguard - September 26, 2009." Last fall she achieved her 9th Number One Album on the Billboard records charts with the Columbia release, "Love Is The Answer," which marked her 5th consecutive decade in which she earned a #1 album.
One of the most celebrated concert performances of recent years, a one-time only event witnessed by little more than one hundred lottery-selected Barbra Streisand fans, "One Night Only" was made available on DVD and DVD/CD Combo Pack as well as Blu-Ray Disc. It covers the entire experience of Ms. Streisand's first cabaret performance in 48 years. The extraordinary event coincided with release of her Number One charting album "Love Is The Answer" last September which became the 51st Gold Record for the (to go with her 30 Platinum) for the leading album-selling female recording artist of all time as noted by the RIAA. With the new "One Night Only," the CD is a limited edition available only in the DVD/CD Combo Pack
Streisand's recent prominence on DVD charts, includes her two disc Director's Extended Edition of "Yentl," one of the top motion picture DVD offerings of last year.
An absorbing dream-come-true you-are-there high definition audio-visual document of Streisand's first cabaret performance in 48 years, "One Night Only - Barbra Streisand and Quartet at the Village Vanguard - September 26, 2009" immerses the home viewer in a tiny West Village nightclub, privy to the best sight lines and sound imaginable, to share an exclusive and intimate evening that prompted the New York Times to marvel, "Concerts by Ms. Streisand are rare, but the scale of Saturday's show was exceptional enough to briefly upend the natural social order of celebrity events..." Ms. Streisand was booked for one night at the Vanguard - legal capacity 123, absurdly small for an artist who has sold over 71 million albums in the United States alone.
"One Night was Executive Produced by Barbra Streisand and Martin Erlichman..

Re: Another Billboard #1 For Barbra!
I love this cd and I think that if you had released it as a separate cd it might have eclipsed "LITA" at the Grammys. I think that you would have had your 10th #1 cd and your 6th decade of #1 albums. Your version of "Some Other Time" is sublime.
The dvd of the concert is great too. I think that if you released a concert dvd each year that you would have a #1 each year.

Re: Another Billboard #1 For Barbra!
congratulations, Barbra!! this DVD/CD package is absolutely amazing!! just like YOU!
so..... here it is, a new decade, last fall "Love is the Answer" was your 5th #1 album in 5 decades, so what do you have planned for your next album, to be your 6th #1 album in 6 decades??! an accomplishment that no one will ever surpass.
here is an idea: how about an entire album of marilyn and alan bergman songs, that a while back you hinted you hoped to do? the bergmans have written some of your most beautiful songs ever, this album could be absolutely amazing! love songs, up-tempto songs, ballads, it could be incredible.

p.s., but what is it with the liner notes credit that this is "a production of the jack my dog corporation" ?? Barbra, the only reaction to this is that it is xxx-porn! how could you possibly allow this to be a part of your magnificent production?? Barbra, you are way too classy for this.

Re: Another Billboard #1 For Barbra!
I just bought the Village Vanguard recording and I have to say that I think it is the best thing you have done. Small clubs with small back-up groups has always been my favorite kind of performance (I have seen Mel Torme, Tony Bennett, and others in such a venue) and I am so happy that you finally made a live club recording. I have just finished listening to it for the first time and it is absolutely great.
Thanks for making my life a little better with your music.
