It reached No. 1 on the Australian albums chart and was certified nine times platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).

Higgins' second album, On a Clear Night, was released 28 April 2007.[4] Like its predecessor, it reached No. 1 on the Australian albums chart and was certified three times platinum by ARIA. On a Clear Night produced three singles: "Steer", "Where I Stood" and "Peachy".
