Hilltop Hoods discography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The discography of Australian hip hop group Hilltop Hoods consists of seven studio albums, six extended plays (EPs), twenty-four singles and three DVDs. Their debut studio album A Matter of Time was released independently in 1999.

Their second studio album Left Foot, Right Foot was also released independently two years later in 2001, while their first label record, their third studio album The Calling, was released via Obese Records on 22 September 2003. It became Hilltop Hoods' first charted album as it peaked at 50th on the Australian national chart. It was also certified platinum in Australia by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).

Their fourth studio album became their first number one album in Australia, titled The Hard Road. Released on 6 April 2006 via Obese Records, it was certified platinum by ARIA. The record also received a remixed version the following year, titled The Hard Road: Restrung, it placed at 8th on the Australian chart and was certified gold in the country. State of the Art, their fifth studio album, became their second number one album in the country and their first double platinum record. It was released on 12 June 2009 via Golden Era Records.

Their subsequent two albums, Drinking from the Sun (2012) and Walking Under Stars (2014), were also certified double-platinum and charted at number one in Australia. Drinking from the Sun, which is Hilltop Hood's sixth studio album, peaked in New Zealand at 37th while their seventh studio album Walking Under Stars debuted at 23rd in the country and also at 19th in Switzerland. Their sixth and seventh studio albums were modified and re-released in 2016 as Drinking from the Sun, Walking Under Stars Restrung, a remix album. It was certified platinum and charted in Australia and Switzerland at number one and fifty respectively.
