The Calling is an album by Australian hip-hop group Hilltop Hoods, released on 22 September 2003 through Obese Records. It was the first Australian Hip Hop album to reach gold album status, based on high sales. On the 26 July 2006, Obese Records announced that the album had become the first Australian Hip Hop release to achieve platinum album status. The album peaked at #53 on Australia's ARIAnet Albums Chart. Two songs on the album charted in the 2003 Triple J Hottest 100 chart, "The Nosebleed Section" - #9 and "Dumb Enough" - #44. Both were released as singles in 2004, after the initial single "Testimonial Year" did not fare as well as had been hoped.
