He angitu nui a The Stranger, e wha nga Top-25 i runga i nga papaanga a Billboard: "Just the Way You Are" (# 3), "Movin' Out" (# 17), "Ko te Pai anake te Mate Hou" (# 24), me "He Wahine tonu ia" (# 17). Ko te pukaemi Top Ten tuatahi a Joel, The Stranger i whakamanahia he maha-platinum ka eke ki te nama rua i runga i nga mahere, i hokona atu i a Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge over Troubled Water, te pukaemi tino pai a Columbia i mua. I whakaatuhia hoki e te Stranger "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant", he puoro-a-rohe, kua noho hei tetahi o ana waiata rongonui.  Pātai: He aha te waiata i eke ki te tūranga 17?
