Runaway Horses by Belinda Carlisle
Runaway Horses is an album by Belinda Carlisle, released in 1989. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Heaven is a Place on Earth”, on 2 lists with a best position of #413.
Runaway Horses, Belinda Carlisle's third solo album, galloped out on MCA on October 3, 1989, with Rick Nowels producing and songs from Nowels, Ellen Shipley and Charlotte Caffey, plus one Carlisle co-wrote herself. It's glossy, big-hearted pop-rock, all shimmering choruses and widescreen sheen, a long way from the new wave she'd sung with the Go-Go's, and the guest list is stacked: George Harrison and Bryan Adams both drop by.
America cooled on it, sending it only to 37 on the Billboard 200, a steep fall from Heaven on Earth two years earlier, but Britain took it to heart, lifting it to number four and a platinum certificate.
