A PARTY WITH HARDY

HARDY (Big Loud Rock/Big Loud Records) was gifted with a plaque for his first-ever rock radio #1, "Jack," backstage before opening for Morgan Wallen at SoFi Stadium in L.A. on 7/22.

"Jack" comes from HARDY's second studio album, The Mockingbird & the Crow, which arrived via Big Loud/Big Loud Rock in January. The project debuted at #4, marking Hardy's highest-charting album to date. The 17-track effort also included the single "Wait in the Truck" f/Lainey Wilson. The song peaked at #2 on the Country Airplay chart and #5 on Hot Country Songs.

Seen in the photo shocked HITS hasn't ruined the moment yet are (L-R) HARDY, Big Loud Rock SVP Lloyd Aur Norman, Big Loud Rock Marketing + Management Coordinators Colleen Kennedy and Delaine Halpin, RGR Promotion's Ray Gmeiner and Big Loud President/Partner Greg Thompson.
