Oh, my ''Achy Breaky Heart.'' This country song, with its scorchingly hot sales despite very little airplay on pop-radio stations, has set ablaze the career of Billy Ray Cyrus, a 30-year-old Kentuckian whose debut album, Some Gave All, smokes onto the album chart at No. 4. That out-of-nowhere performance is enough to distract chart watchers from the return to No. 1 of the debut album by rappers Kris Kross and from the impressive No. 6 posting for Revenge, the 20th album from those veterans of the hard-rock wars, Kiss.
