Nanci and Janice are both right. It will take a mix of both approaches to make an impact. Having spent a part of my past life in both commercial radio and retail, I encourage both efforts to go forward. The element that drives what a lot of stores stock is what they see climbing the charts. To move Harmony up the charts we need to have both airplay and sales.

I didn't mean to imply that it was an "either" "or" situation. Nanci said, "...but concentrating on retail is a more beneficial cause..." and I just wanted to point out that the push for air play is just as much a focus on retail as asking your favorite music store to stock the CD, where as she seemed to indicate that it was not. As someone said, the two actions go hand in hand to sell CDs, which is the goal.
