Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 12th 2006 –- New country music artist Michael Lee Austin shocks the music industry by topping out big name acts such as Rascal Flatts, Toby Keith, Keith Urban and Tim McGraw and becoming the Internet’s Best Selling Country Music Album this week.

Mr. Morin stated, “We planned to do this and our efforts have certainly paid off. You have to understand this was not a one person project in promoting Michael’s album. We used a simple concept of Joint Ventures with other internet marketing companies. Through the relationships we have created over the years is what sparked this incredible feat.
