Hard FM's Top 50,000 Songs of All Time

The Hard FM's Top 50,000 Songs of All Time was the poll of the most active rock, AOR, hard rock and heavy metal songs, according to listeners of the Australian radio station Hard FM.

BuzzFeed campaigned for P!nk's song "So What" as a protest against Hard FM's exclusion of the song from their longest top list of songs. Unfortunately, the track was eventually disqualified and being pulled from the countdown for good as well as "Move Like Jagger" by Maroon 5, "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry, "Love Story" by Taylor Swift and "Shallow" by Lady GaGa and Bradley Cooper due to radio conflicts against KIIS Network, Hit Network and NOVA Entertainment.
