Billy Joel: The Hits – Billy JoelView More By Billy Joel Our ReviewAs a preface to an ambitious 2011 reissue campaign that promises rarities from the vaults, previously unavailable studio tracks, live performances and home video releases, Columbia/Legacy kicks things off in 2010 with the career-spanning 19-track The Hits. While The Hits offers nothing new for the hardcore fan, it’s a solid collection for those who are just getting caught up.

The only song worth buying off this comp is *everybody loves you now* which has never been on a previous hits album as far as I know. I am a huge Billy fan , but this isnt worth the money sorry.
