Sophomore album reigns atop of seven Billboard charts
Topping off a week full of career highs, Big Loud genre-bender Hardy is celebrating sophomore album The Mockingbird & The Crow in a big way, earning a first week debut at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart.
The album kings seven additional Billboard charts this week, sitting atop their Top Album Sales, Top Country Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Hard Rock Albums, Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Current Album Sales, and Independent Albums charts.
“It’s just beyond every expectation that we ever had,” Hardy reacts. “To have the No. 1 album in both country and rock at the same time is so crazy and validating. I’m grateful to country and rock radio, our partners, everyone for embracing these songs and this record. Most of all, thank you to the fans for getting it and responding like this, it means the world to me.”
This week, get an exclusive inside look behind last week’s Los Angeles double header concert event when Hardy sits down with Entertainment Tonight‘s Cassie DiLaura at The Troubadour to chat all things album, newlywed life, his upcoming headline The Mockingbird & The Crow Tour, and the one-night-only, two-stop showcase that launched a record week.
The 12x chart-topping lyricist was awarded the coveted Songwriter of the Year Award at the BMI Country Awards in November. Already the reigning 2022 ACM Songwriter of the Year and the 2022 AIMP Songwriter of the Year, Hardy has changed the face of modern country music, earning him quite the reputation around Nashville.
