Rise landed in November 1990 on Columbia, and for Daryl Braithwaite, the old Sherbet frontman, it was a runaway success: the best-selling album in Australia in 1991, it climbed to No. 3 on the ARIA chart and sold more than 300,000 copies, with a 4× platinum certification following in 2016. The songs grew out of a trip he took to China as a tourist in 1989.
Its calling card was "The Horses", which went to number one in Australia in January 1991. America never got the album itself, but it did get "Higher Than Hope", which reached number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became his biggest US hit, fronting a compilation of the same name. Braithwaite took Rise on the road across Australia from Boxing Day 1990, starting in Warrnambool, and it earned him an ARIA nomination for Best Male Artist in 1991, though John Farnham's Chain Reaction took the prize.
