The present invention provides a magnetic recording medium which enables improvement of the layer quality of magnetic layer grown on the surface of a soft magnetic underlayer by conducting excellent control of crystal orientation by imparting an optimal half-width of the Rocking curve (Deltatheta50), as well as obtainment of SNR that suppresses generation of TA and enables realization of high-density recording. The magnetic recording medium includes a soft magnetic underlayer, an orientation control layer, a perpendicular magnetic recording layer, and a protective layer, which are disposed on top of a non-magnetic substrate; wherein the magnetic anisotropy ratio (Hmr/Hmc) of the soft magnetic underlayer is 1 or less, and Deltatheta50 is 1 to 6 degrees. The soft magnetic underlayer is formed on the primary surface of the non-magnetic substrate where the primary surface has been polished one substrate at a time by a sheet-type texture processing device using polishing tape and a slurry containing colloidal silica abrasive grain.
