Country-rock fusionist Hardy is celebrating his hit “Truck Bed” reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. The track marks his first solo Country Airplay No. 1, third as an artist and 14th as a songwriter, not counting his rock radio No. 1 “Jack” that topped the charts last year.

“Truck Bed” appears on Hardy’s widely-acclaimed 2023 album The Mockingbird & The Crow. He co-wrote the song with Ben Johnson, Hunter Phelps and Ashley Gorley, and it became the latter’s record-breaking 75th No. 1 song.

Hardy has previously topped the country radio charts alongside other artists, including with his double Platinum “One Beer” featuring Lauren Alaina and Devin Dawson and his award-winning, double Platinum “Wait In The Truck” featuring Lainey Wilson. He was also featured on the Platinum Dierks Bentley and Breland collaboration, “Beers On Me,” which he co-wrote.

Now a chart-topping hit, “Truck Bed” is nominated for 2024 CMT Music Awards for Video of the Year and Male Video of the Year. Meanwhile, track “Rockstar” is impacting rock radio.

Hardy is set to embark on his “Quit!! Tour” of North America this spring and summer. Dates include headline sets at festivals including Stagecoach and CMA Fest, plus his own shows across the country.
