It would spend a further week in the Top 40 at 29 before falling off the chart.

It was the fourth of four Top 20 singles from the album in the UK.
Heaven Is - CD Single Sleeve Quote
"In your hands, you have the 4th Def track from Adrenalize: 'Heaven Is' - another view about that age old problem of perfect women. Backing this track is another from the obscure Elliott collection of songs: 'She's Too Tough'. The title speaks for itself!"
"We've thrown in 2 more live tracks: Our version of the Alice Cooper (we are not worthy) song 'Elected', recorded with Steve in Tilburg, Holland in 1987 and 'Let's Get Rocked' from our May '92 European tour - city of Bonn, Germany to be precise. The difference in the feel of the two tracks seems greater than the 5 year difference in recording, but, what the heck..."
Joe Elliott - Vault Inner Sleeve Quote
"Purely a pop song. Us sounding like the Beach Boys. Hate the video."
