Cyrus topped the country music charts with his hits “Achy Breaky Heart,” “Some Gave All,” “Heart of a Woman,” “Could’ve Been Me,” “Busy Man,” “She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore” and the critically acclaimed “Trail of Tears.” He also remains on top in television ratings as handsome country doctor Clint Cassidy in the hit drama series “Doc” on PAX-TV.
Billy Ray Cyrus stormed onto the music scene in 1993 when his debut album, “Some Gave All,” held the number one spot on Billboard Magazine’s Hot 100 Album chart for 17 consecutive weeks.This
is the longest time this spot has been held by a debut artist and a record that still stands today.
He has multi-platinum (“Some Gave All” – 1992), platinum (“It Won’t Be The Last” – 1993) and gold (“Storm In The Heartland” – 1994) albums to his credit plus the critically acclaimed “Trail of Tears” – 1996. Cyrus has maintained his success worldwide, earning multi-platinum certifications in Australia; platinum in Denmark, New Zealand and Norway; and gold in the United Kingdom and South Africa.
Cyrus recently completed his third season as the star of “Doc” which remains PAX-TV’s top-rated show. Cyrus plays Montana doctor Clint Cassidy who moves to New York City. TV Guide says the show combines the moral lessons of “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” with the “fish-out-of-water conceit of ‘Northern Exposure.'” In 2002, the Parents Television Council named “Doc” the most “family-friendly” program on television.
