Heaven & Earth was released in various territories between 16–22 July 2014. It peaked at number 20 on the UK album chart, the band's highest position since Talk (1994), which peaked at the same spot. It entered the US Billboard 200 chart at number 26, falling to 108 in its second week. The album was leaked online for free shortly after its release. Howe said the copyright infringement hurt him personally which affected his view towards making another Yes album.
