Some Gave All, released via Mercury Records, produced Billboard chart-toppers “Could’ve Been Me”, “Wher’m I Gonna Live When I Get Home?” and “She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore” along with Cyrus’ RIAA® multi-platinum hit “Achy Breaky Heart,” which spent five consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, as well as a Top 5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “Achy Breaky Heart” became a worldwide sensation and has now amassed nearly 400 million streams globally along with the recently remastered music video, which has garnered 89 million views.
