Runaway Horses is the third solo album by the American singer Belinda Carlisle, released in October 1989 by MCA Records. The album features songs written by Rick Nowels, Ellen Shipley, Charlotte Caffey and a song co-written by Carlisle herself. The album contains an array of guest artists, including George Harrison and Bryan Adams.
The album peaked at number 37 on the U.S. Billboard 200, a considerable fall in sales from Carlisle's 1987 album, Heaven on Earth, though it fared better in Europe and peaked at number 4 in the UK where it was certified platinum.
Allmusic reviewed the album as not being as strong as Heaven on Earth but is still generally likeable and appealing. The album made its debut on the Billboard 200 on October 21, 1989 and after seven weeks of slowly moving up the charts it reached its peak position of number 37, a lower position than her previous two albums. The album spent a total of 25 weeks on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the RIAA. Runaway Horses was Carlisle's last album to chart in the U.S.
The album debuted on the UK Albums Chart on October 30, 1989 at number four which was the album's peak position, matching that of her previous album. The album moved up and down the chart over the next 18 months, and re-entered the top 10 in 1990. Five singles from the album reached the UK Top 40, two of which were Top 10. The album spent a total of 39 weeks in the UK Top 100 and was certified platinum by the BPI. Carlisle was presented with her platinum disc live on the Saturday morning children's television show Going Live! on BBC One.
