Heaven on Earth

Heaven on Earth is the second solo album by Belinda Carlisle and her most successful to date. Released in late 1987 it featured three singles that made the Top 10 charts in the United States, including the #1 hit "Heaven Is a Place On Earth".

Allmusic wrote "while nothing here packs quite the punch that "How Much More," "We Got the Beat," and "Turn to You" did, such memorable songs as "Heaven Is a Place on Earth," "Should I Let You In?," and "I Get Weak" show that the Angelino still had plenty of spirit".

"Heaven on Earth" is Belinda Carlisle's most successful studio album of her career, in terms of chart performance and copies sold. The Album was certified 3-times Platinum in the U.K.. Heaven on Earth was also certified Platinum in many other countries among them the United States, Canada and Australia. The first single released "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" reached the number 1 position throughout the world making it a classical song. The second song released was "I Get Weak" written by the famous songwriter Diane Warren. "I Get Weak" reached the number #2 in the U.S. and the top 10 position in Canada and U.K.. The third single "Circle In The Sand" reached the top 10 position in many countries among them U.K. (#4), U.S. (#7) and Canada (#5). From this moment the singles released from the Album were different. The Cream cover "I Feel Free" was released only in the U.S., the song reached only the #88 position in the Billboard Hot 100. In Europe was released the song "World Without You" (another Diane Warren song) which reached the top 40 in the U.K.. The sixth and last song to be released was the ballad "Love Never Dies" which reached the number #41 in the U.K..

In May 2009, Heaven on Earth was re-released as a re-mastered two disc special edition. This special edition includes several bonus remixes and a live DVD. The inclusion of the live DVD marked the first time the concert footage filmed in Philadelphia during the 1988 'Good Heavens' world tour was made available in DVD format. It had previously only been available on VHS.
