Julianne Hough debuts at number one
Wednesday, May 28, 2008 – Newcomer Julianne Hough did pretty well for herself with her self-titled debut disc - it debuted at number one on the country charts, which will be officially released Thursday. She had the third best selling overall album in the U.S.
"Country music has always been my passion," she said. "Having the opportunity to make a record in Nashville and then getting to share that with the world is beyond my wildest imagination. A big thanks to Luke Lewis and the entire Mercury staff." Lewis is head of the label.
The Utah native, who gained fame for winning "Dancing with the Stars" twice, takes over the otp spot from Toby Keith's "35 Biggest Hits."

The Utah native's brand of country fits squarely into the young, energetic and playful mold of contemporaries like Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler with light-hearted songs like the single "That Song In My Head" and "You, You, You," which features the ...
