Still Dancing!
JULIANNE HOUGH is still dancing -- right on up the music charts!
Her self-titled debut sold 67,000 copies in its first week, according to Billboard, placing her at a solid number three on the Top 200 chart.
The "Dancing with the Stars" champ parlayed her TV success into a record deal with Mercury Nashville based on the success of her digital single "Will You Dance with Me" last year.
Released just last week was her first music video, "That Song in My Head," the first track off the album, which is currently a top 100 single.
"I've always wanted to sing country music," the 19-year-old told Billboard. "I've been singing as long as I've been dancing and it's actually a bigger passion of mine."
She is now prepping to tour as the opening act for BRAD PAISLEY. They'll hit the road starting June 11 in Albuquerque, N.M.
