Among the genres represented in our list of 4 albums, punk, blues and pop are the highest rated. Therefore, we should recommend:

- Red Tone (Punk)
- Slim Jim Bites (Blues)
- Meteor and the Girls (Pop)

By far though, rock makes up the majority of the sales. To better capture sales in the USA, we might want to ask the record label if they have any up-and-coming rock bands.

Jane Peacock has the highest amount of sales, but she also has been at the company the longest. If we really want to hone in on employee efficiency, we might want to standardize sales by the number of days or hours worked.

Album purchases account for almost a quarter of the total sales, so it is inadvisable to change strategy to just purchase the most popular tracks.
