Streisand also surpassed her own record for the longest span between number ones on the Billboard 200 as Encore arrived 51 years and 10 months after her first chart-topper, People, spent its initial week at number one (October 31, 1964). Further, Streisand continued to be the only act to have achieved number one albums in the last six decades (1960s–2010s).[2]

The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart with combined units of 20,000 in its first week, giving Streisand her seventh number one album in the United Kingdom. With that achievement, Streisand ranks second as the female solo artist with the most number one albums in UK, behind only

Madonna, who has twelve number one albums.[16] The feat was later broken by Kylie Minogue, who has eight number one albums.[17] It also peaked at number 3 in Canada, selling 10,318 copies in its first week.[18] The album debuted at number one spot in Australia, making it her third number one album there.[19]

Encore was the 45th best-selling album of 2016, according to IFPI, selling 600,000 that year.[20]
