Three-time U.S. National Figure Skating
champion John G. “Johnny” Weir's debut single Dirty Love
has topped the music charts in Japan.
Weir premiered his single last month as
he headlined Holiday Dreams on Ice in Flint, Michigan.
The
single currently occupies the top spot on the Japanese Amazon sales
chart. (The single is embedded in the right panel of this page.)
“Thank you to all of my fans around
the world for making me feel fabulous and loved and supporting all my
projects,” Weir said on his Facebook page. “You have helped me
open my world of possibilities!”
Weir's projects include sharing the
judging panel on the ABC hit Skating with the Stars with
television commentator Dick Button and Laday Gaga choreographer
Laurie Ann Gibson. His
routine set to Lady Gaga's Poker Face on the show's premiere
drew thunderous applause.
All gay cabler Logo will premiere a
second season of his reality show Be Good Johnny Weir next
month.
And
Welcome to my World, Weir's tell-all memoir, was released on
January 11.
