"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..
