that would be an interesting comeback since i read he was through with pop music .he had a a good run from the mid 70' until the early 90's. sounds like a piano ballad from the clip.

[Troublemaker]

This should be interesting. I believe I read somewhere that he’s not interested in making another album, hopefully he’s had a change of heart, time will tell.

First new single in 17 years.

He has had quite some gaps.

August 10, 1993 - Last album of original music/lyrics until...

February 14, 2007 - song for his wife... and then nothing until... (there was a 2007 Xmas song though)

February 1, 2024 - this.

Well, it's been confirmed that Billy will be performing on the Grammys. This will definitely give the new song a boost.

i like the song it is a nice ballad.

[70jack90]

This is classic Billy Joel. Hope this would cross over to pop radio for a potential comeback!

[shanas]

this is great ... what a return !!

hopefully there's more to come

[stormlover74]

I kinda like it. Should have a good first week

[70jack90]

Looks like the song is not only serviced to Hot AC and Adult Contemporary stations, but this is also serviced to Pop radio as well!

[jdanton2]

debuts at #9 at AC in it's first day . Adele i am sure might have had a higher debut .his last appearance was back in 1997 . song reached #3 on itunes yesterday.

it is #2 on itunes but has not charted at Spotify or Apple . Grammy performance tomorrow night could help though.
