HRD Rock Report

MAY 2019

The HRD Rock Report is designed to help you keep your finger on the pulse of Active Rock, Hard Rock, and Classic Rock.

Each month, the HRD Rock Report will provide a recap from the previous month of all songs that were featured in the Top 50 of the Active Rock Mediabase Chart, a recap of all songs featured on SiriusXM’s Octane Big ‘Uns Countdown, and a playlist of new releases from around the world that don’t get the recognition that they deserve from radio.  Additionally, this recap will highlight the featured reviews from Hard Rock Daddy’s HRD Radio Report from the previous month.

With this monthly snapshot, you will always be on top of what’s going on with current Active Rock, Hard Rock, and Classic Rock music.  New features will be added to the HRD Rock Report as we move forward.
