Hilltop Hoods stormed back in 2023 with their latest single Laced Up, following a massive 2022 that saw them perform six sold-out arena shows and release hits Show Business ft Eamon and A Whole Day’s Night ft Montaigne & Tom Thum. Making triple j’s Hottest 100 history with the most song entries in the countdown, their tally now stands at 23. Laced Up is the first taste of their forthcoming album, set to follow the immense success of The Great Expanse—their sixth #1 album and the highest-selling Australian album of 2019, featuring multi-platinum singles like Clark Griswold, Leave Me Lonely, and Exit Sign.

With a legacy that includes 1.6 billion streams, ten ARIA Awards, and over 75 platinum accreditations, Hilltop Hoods are a force in Australian music. They’ve been the most streamed Australian artist on Spotify for two consecutive years, and their commitment to giving back is clear—raising over $540,000 with their 2020 single I’m Good? to support road crews affected by the pandemic. As they gear up for their next chapter, their influence on hip hop and Australian music remains unrivalled.
