On this day in 1980: Barbra Streisand scored her fourth U.S. #1 album with ‘Guilty.’ Also on this day, Streisand started a three week run at #1 on the U.S. singles chart with a song written by the The Bee Gees, ‘Woman In Love’.

After the success enjoyed by the Bee Gees in the late 1970s, the band was asked to participate in musical endeavors for other artists, and Streisand asked Barry Gibb to write an album for her. This album ultimately became Guilty. “Woman in Love”, as the lead single, became one of the most successful songs of Streisand’s music career. It reached the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Streisand’s fifth (and last to date) #1 hit on that chart. It replaced Queen’s big-selling hit “Another One Bites The Dust” which spent three weeks at #1, and was itself replaced by “Lady” by country singer Kenny Rogers. It also spent five weeks atop the adult contemporary chart, her sixth #1 on that chart.
