The Great Expanse by Hilltop Hoods
The Great Expanse is an album by Hilltop Hoods, released in 2019. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Exit Sign”, on 1 list with a best position of #10.
The Great Expanse, Hilltop Hoods' eighth studio album, landed on 22 February 2019 through Universal Music Australia, and the Adelaide trio kept it in the family: Suffa and DJ Debris produced it themselves, with Pressure rounding out the crew. It's big-tent Aussie hip-hop, polished and hook-heavy, but the rhymes still come with a wink and a scowl.
The guest list does plenty of the lifting. Adrian Eagle sings on "Clark Griswold", which went gold and won an ARIA Award; "Leave Me Lonely" went platinum; and "Exit Sign" brings in Illy and Ecca Vandal. The album debuted at number one on the ARIA chart, their sixth chart-topper and a new record for an Australian group, and picked up three ARIA nominations that year, Album of the Year among them.
