Billy Joel introduced himself to the Billboard Hot 100 with the eventual classic, and one of his signature songs, "Piano Man," which hit No. 25 in April 1974. He landed his first No. 1 in July 1980 with the celebratory "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me.

Finding lasting love was Billy Joel's No. 1 goal, so he kept trying till he got it right with fourth wife Alexis Roderick. Here are all the relationships the Piano Man had along the way.

Billy Joel has unexpectedly taken aim at The Beatles, calling one of their albums a ‘collection of half-assed songs’. In 1968, five years after the release of their debut album Please Please Me, the Liverpudlian band dropped their self-titled album, which also came to become known as the White Album.
