It took a former member of Led Zeppelin and a bespectacled Canadian ex-con who / sings dancehall pop, but it finally happened: Billy Ray Cyrus has left the building. After 44 weeks on the pop album chart and 5 million copies sold, Cyrus' Some Gave All has been elbowed out of the top 10 by the first album by Coverdale/Page and the debut effort from Snow, whose rap-reggae hit ''Informer'' stands as the least likely No. 1 single of the year. Meanwhile, boosted by its third smash, Whitney Houston's ''I Have Nothing,'' the soundtrack to The Bodyguard bounds back to No. 1. Almost compensates for all those disparaging comments about Kevin Costner's haircut, doesn't it? LAST POP ALBUMS WEEKS ON WEEK CHART
