Barbra Thanks UK Fans For #1 Album
OCTOBER 11, 2009, 1:25 pm
'Love Is The Answer', Barbra's 63rd album, has climbed to position 1 on the UK album charts, in it's second week.
Here's a note from Barbra...
When the album went to #1 in the States I was surprised and thrilled. To have the same thing happen on "the other side of the pond" is just as exciting.
I've always loved spending time in the UK and it's so gratifying to learn how this album has been embraced. With all my appreciation and thanks! Barbra

Re: Barbra Thanks UK Fans For #1 Album
I think this was the right time for the right album. There's a big audience of younger listeners hungry for something new and fresh and, ironically, the something new and fresh which is capturing their interest is classic popular song. Hearing real stories being told, hearing intriguing and meaningful lyrics and hearing soaring melodies is gaining their ear. And who better to interpret this music than an artist who herself has been an integral part of the art? And who, somehow, someway, has kept fresh through the decades, who has kept evolving and who still can surprise us even though you'd think logically we'd all know all there is to know about her musically. In my view, Barbra achieved this latest success just by being herself, an artist who believes in art as living and ever moving on even if it's looking back. No tricks, no poses, no mysterious motives, just honest love for what she is creating.
