Hit Parader

Common card · No. 482086

Hit Parader is an American music magazine that operated originally between 1942 and 2008 before being relaunched in 2025. A monthly publication, it focused on rock and pop music in general until the 1970s, when its focus began turning to hard rock and heavy metal. By the early 1980s, Hit Parader focused exclusively on heavy metal and briefly produced a spinoff television program entitled Hit Parader's Heavy Metal Heroes. The magazine reached its circulation peak in the mid-to-late 1980s, selling a half-million copies every month, as heavy metal music achieved high levels of popularity and commercial success. The recent relaunch features Yungblud on the inaugural cover and focuses once again on rock and pop music and rock culture as a whole.
