R&B singer Mario nabbed the top score of 24 out of 30 for his cha-cha on last night’s Dancing with the Stars premiere.

But mastering his moves wasn’t easy.

“Oh man, I pulled my groin!” he told Usmagazine.com backstage after last night’s show in L.A. “I was like great balls of fury!”

His partner Karina Smirnoff wouldn’t cut him any slack: “She still made me dance!” he complained.

Coming in second on last night’s show: Miami Dolphins’ Jason Taylor, who scored 22 points for his foxtrot and Chilean actor Cristian de la Fuente, who earned 21 points for his cha-cha.

Actor Steve Guttenberg scored 18 points, followed by Penn Jillette at 16 points and Adam Carolla at 15 points.

Carolla gave Us his own rating: “I would say a 6 or even a 7, but then when I go home and watch it on TiVo, I will probably give myself a 4. [But] I was having fun!”

The six female contestants debut tonight. Click here to read the exclusive diary of Marissa Jaret Winokur before she hits the stage.
