 The album itself topped the Pop Albums chart for six weeks and was ranked number 4 on "Billboard"'s 1980 year-end album chart.
 The album is the 41st best selling album of the 1980s, with sales of 7.1 million copies in the US alone.
 In 1981, Joel won a Grammy Award for "Best Male Rock Vocal Performance" for his work on "Glass Houses".

The Stranger is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel, released on September 29, 1977, by Columbia Records.

"The Downeaster 'Alexa'" is a song originally written, produced, and performed by Billy Joel for his eleventh studio album "Storm Front".

River of Dreams is the twelfth studio album by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel, released on August 10, 1993.
 He stopped recording new music as a performer after this album although he has subsequently released live albums and composed the music for an instrumental album performed by Richard Joo.
 "River of Dreams" presented a much more serious tone from Joel than found in his previous albums, dealing with issues such as trust and long-lasting love.
 It was rumored that the themes of trust and betrayal, particularly certain lyrics from the songs "A Minor Variation" and "The Great Wall of China", stem from Joel's legal disputes with his former manager and ex-brother-in-law, Frank Weber, who reportedly embezzled millions of dollars from Joel and used dubious accounting practices to cover it up.

"And So It Goes" is a lyric poem written by Billy Joel in 1983, though it was not released until six years later.
 It appeared as the tenth and final track of his 1989 studio album "Storm Front".
 The original 1983 demo was released on the 2005 box set "My Lives".
 Joel wrote the song about a doomed relationship with model Elle Macpherson.
 Their relationship was dramatic, as Macpherson was only a teenager while Joel was reaching his mid-30s.
 Joel dated Macpherson for a brief time shortly before becoming involved with model Christie Brinkley, who would ultimately become his second wife.
 The song is unique for Joel as it is written in iambic tetrameter.
 In the original demo version of "And So It Goes," Joel sings the melody simply, accompanied by a simple piano backdrop, in a style very reminiscent of a hymn.
 On the 1989 album version, Joel sings and plays all the instrumentation (piano and synthesizers).
 The official video is from a live performance in front of a concert audience.
