Lead

 * The album is a compilation → I would say "The record" to avoid repetition
 * eleven commercially successful → numbers above ten shouldn't be written out anymore
 * including her first top ten single → Please say "including her first Billboard Hot 100 top ten single" to clarify where the songs charted
 * received a perfect five star rating → Please leave out "perfect" as it's very WP:FANCRUFT-ish
 * the Recording Industry Association of America → please add "(RIAA)" afterwards
 * 2 million copies → write out the number
 * A second compilation consisting → comma before "consisting"

Infobox

 * No issues here ;)

Background and release

 * it contains eleven singles → same as in the lead
 * commercially-successful → two words
 * one top ten single → add "one Billboard Hot 100 top ten single" as in the lead
 * non-charting songs – "Don't Rain on My Parade", "Happy Days Are Here Again", and "My Coloring Book" → Unlink the last two songs as mentioned beforehand
 * The album's eleven tracks were produced from a variety of musicians → The album's 11 tracks were produced by a variety of musicians
 * with the same track listing but a revised order → with the same track listing in a revised order
 * featuring an identical track listing → featuring the same track listing

Critical reception

 * appreciated the decision to release → appreciated Streisand's decision to release
 * he also liked → I would replace "liked" with a more encyclopedic word: "favored"
 * rated the collection a perfect five stars → remove "perfect" like in the lead; I would replace with "five out of five stars"
 * Link Guilty as never mentioned before

Commercial performance

 * According to the Recording Industry Association of America, the record was certified Gold for shipments of 500,000 copies on May 4, 1971, and by November 21, 1986, had been → This is a bit weird, as the certification is not reported about by RIAA, but it is awarded by them. Rewrite to: "It was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of 500,000 copies on May 4, 1971, and by November 21, 1986, the record had been..."
 * 2x Platinum → double Platinum
 * 2 million albums → write out as in the lead
 * where it peaked at number 17 according to the official Top Albums → where it peaked at number 17 on the official Top Albums (same as for RIAA)
 * Add "(ARIA)" after "Australian Recording..."

Track listing

 * Flawless ;)

Personnel

 * Credits adapted from the liner notes of the CD edition → "the CD edition" is really superflous to mention here and could be left out

Charts

 * Flawless ;)

Certifications

 * Flawless ;)

Copy-violation

 * 20.6% is very acceptable!
