About Billy Joel
The iconic son of New York is among the most well-liked and well-respected performers in history, having made numerous records. With more than 160 million records sold worldwide, the singer-songwriter-composer is the fourth-best-selling solo artist and the sixth-best-selling recorded artist. Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & 2, his compilation CD from 1985, is among the best-selling records in the US.
For millions of individuals over the course of five decades, Joel’s songs have served as both personal and cultural touchstones. ‘Piano Man,’ an autobiographical song penned by Joel while he was performing in a Los Angeles lounge in 1973, was the first of his 33 consecutive Top 40 successes that he wrote alone. Piano Man was chosen in 2016 by the Library of Congress for inclusion in the National Recording Registry due to its “cultural, historic, and artistic significance.” Joel has had hits for nearly 50 years, including three Top 40 hits: “Tell Her About It,” “It’s Still Rock and Roll To Me,” and “It’s Still Rock and Roll To Me.”
and ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire,’ which reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts and earned Joel 23 GRAMMY nominations since he signed his first record deal in 1972.
Joel is a very captivating and commercially successful live artist, featuring hits such as “Uptown Girl,” “Just The Way You Are,” “The Longest Time,” and “Vienna,” among many more. With one performance at The Garden each month, Joel launched Madison Square Garden’s inaugural music franchise in January 2014, which Billboard Magazine dubbed “The Greatest Arena Run in History.” The series is still going strong today.
Joel will be performing at The Garden for the 142nd time in his career, more than 45 years after making his stage debut there. Every gig he has performed there has sold out.
Joel has received numerous honours during his career, which bears witness to the respect that both fans and musicians hold for him. Ray Charles, Joel’s idol, inducted him into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1999. Joel is the recipient of two RIAA Diamond Awards: The Stranger and Greatest Hits Volume I & II. The awards are given to albums that have sold more than 10 million copies.
