Tony Bennett turned 85 years old last month -- but the legendary crooner got a major belated gift this week when his album "Duets II" took the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart!
The disc, which pairs the singer with some of music's biggest artists, including Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, Norah Jones, John Mayer, Aretha Franklin and Carrie Underwood, bowed at No. 1 after logging 179,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Bennett, a 14-time Grammy Award winner, made history as the oldest living artist to hit No. 1. He's also the oldest living artist to hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart after his duet with the late Amy Winehouse, “Body and Soul,” debuted on the chart.
