Pop Album Chart : Billy Ray Cyrus Gives His All

Garth Who? At least for one week Brooks isn’t the country singer everyone’s buzzing about. That distinction belongs to a 30-year-old Kentuckian, Billy Ray Cyrus, whose album “Some Gave All” debuted explosively on the Billboard magazine pop chart at No. 4. His hot single, “Achy Breaky Heart,” a real down-home country tune, is No. 12 on the pop singles chart, which is motivating all these fans to buy the album. Meanwhile, Kris Kross’ “Totally Krossed Out” album reclaimed the No. 1 position. The duo’s “Jump” leads the pop singles chart for the seventh straight week. 6.

* The stinging album by the black nationalist rappers X-Clan debuted strongly on the pop chart at No. 31.
