It looks like a lot of Billy Joel<\/strong> fans tuned in to see the CBS special dedicated to\u00a0the\u00a0100th performance of his residency at New York’s Madison Square Garden.<\/span><\/p>\n

Variety<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/a> reports that 5.7 million people caught <\/span>Billy Joel: The 100th \u2014 Live at Madison Square Garden<\/span><\/em> when it aired Sunday, April 14, despite it starting late due to\u00a0coverage of the Masters Tournament.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

That number includes not only folks who watched the special on CBS, but those who\u00a0caught the livestream that aired on Paramount+.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just how big are those numbers? Well, the Joel concert is now the fourth-most-watched special of the year, behind three award shows: the Oscars, Grammys and Golden Globes.<\/span><\/p>\n

And even more fans will be able to check it out. Following fan uproar over the show being cut short in the middle of Joel\u2019s performance of \u201cPiano Man,\u201d CBS is rebroadcasting the special on Friday, April 19, at 9 p.m. ET.<\/span><\/p>\n
