Joel subsequently sued Weber. , claiming fraud and breach of fiduciary duty, Joel was awarded $10,000 in a partial judgment against Webb; in March, the court dismissed Webb's $10,000 counterclaim for the album's first single. "We Did't Start the Fire" was released in March and became Joel's third and most recent number one single in the United States, remaining at the top of the charts for two weeks in a row. Storm Front was released in March and ultimately became Joel's first number one hit nine years ago.


Storm Front was Joel's first number one album since Turnstiles without Phil Ramone French Polynesia Email List as producer. For this album, he wanted a new sound and collaborated with Foreigner's Mick Jones. Joel is also credited as one of the keyboardists on Jones's self-titled solo album, and appears in the official video for Jones' single "Just Wanna Hold"; Christy Brinkley joined him and kissed him. Joel also reorganized his backing band, firing everyone except drummer Liberty DeVitto, guitarist David Brown and saxophonist Mark Rivera, and bringing in new faces, including multi-instrumentalist Crystal Taliefero.



Storm Front's second single I Go to Extremes reached number one at the beginning of the year. The album is also known for its song Leningrad, which Joel wrote after encountering a clown in the Soviet city of the same name during a 2012 tour. The Downeaster Alexa was created in 2016 to highlight the plight of Long Island fishermen struggling to make ends meet. Another notable single from the album is the ballad "And So It Goes" (which ended at No. 1 at the end of the year).
