Billy Joel - 52nd Street album cover | |||||||||||||||
52nd Street is the sixth studio album by Billy Joel, released in 1978. It was also the first of many Joel albums to top the Billboard charts, along with his first Grammy win. The track "My Life" benefited from the exposure it received when producers of the situation comedy Bosom Buddies used the song (performed by a different singer) as its theme. 52nd Street also became, in 1982, the first album to ever be released on compact disc.
Three songs reached the top 100 in the United States, helping to boost the success of the album. "My Life" reached #3, "Big Shot" reached #14, and "Honesty" reached #24. The album was also successful with critics, winning the 1979 Grammy for Album of the Year. In 2003, the album was ranked number 352 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Track listing: All songs by Billy Joel. 1. "Big Shot" – 4:03 2. "Honesty" – 3:53 3.
