  Los Angeles, CA – May 8th 2006 – Up and coming 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. If we can do this with a first time artist such as  Michael Lee Austin, imagine what we could do with a well known act.”

Michael Lee Austin debuted at #7 on the Billboards’ Internet Music Chart and #63  on Billboard’s Overall Country Music Chart.

For a first time artist to do this, is absolutely incredible. Austin’s Labor Pains CD  is continuing to sell all over the world and is quickly gaining a lot of attention.

Country Music radio is currently playing the latest single off Austin’s album “Cold  Window Pane” and getting fantastic airplay across the country.
