The last time we sold many records with eight singles, but they are indicators that there are fewer people listening to country music radio. Regardless of the success that we get on the radio, intensify our efforts in terms of advertising and be a little more aggressive in buying the media, both in print and on the distribution of all parts of the project .. .
