Billy Joel – The Hits is a greatest hits album, by Billy Joel, originally released on 16 November 2010 in the United States only. It is the first single disc compilation released in the states, as well as the first anywhere to have the songs in chronological order. Surprisingly, it lacks some of Joel's most popular singles, such as "Uptown Girl", "Just the Way You Are" and "She's Always a Woman", and contains instead lesser known singles, such as "Pressure" and "Everybody Loves You Now".
