Barricades & Brickwalls is the second full-length album by Australian country music singer Kasey Chambers. It was released by EMI in Australia in 2001, and received a United States release on Warner Bros. in 2002.
The song "Not Pretty Enough" reached #1 on the Australian ARIA charts, going double platinum, and Chambers became the first musical act in Australian history to have an album and single sit at the top of the charts at the same time. The singles "Million Tears" and "If I Were You" would later reach the top 40 charts. The album did not reach quite the same audience in the United States, not quite hitting the Billboard Hot 100. It did, however, reach the top of the Heatseekers chart as well as hitting the top 20 country albums. The track "Crossfire" features The Living End.
The album would end up going platinum in 2002, becoming the highest selling album by an Australian artist in that year, along with the highest selling single. Chambers, because of the success of this album, won "Best Country Artist," "Best Female Artist," and "Album of the Year" at the 2002 ARIA awards.
