Surprised by a nice Royalty Check!

My Christmas song "Peace on Earth" - written in 2010 - apparently got quite a bit of internet radio play this past Christmas season! A friend of mine
directed a beautiful video for it and it became pretty popular on youtube...despite that fact that I have no idea how to promote such a thing! lol
the video link is:

Well, I had submitted it to a number of terrestrial and internet stations and before long, I had internet stations reaching out to me.
When a royalty check arrived, I thought to myself " Oh, yeah, I did register this with BMI"!!
I have had two publishers who loved the song, but didn't have a specific artist in mind to record it...which is probably a blessing. I'd love some feedback from
my fellow "taxi" folks. Should I just continue to promote the song on my own or actively pursue a publisher? I do hear a Christian artist recording it, but also
maybe a Country artist? Thoughts?
Thanks for listening!
