As for the San Francisco #'s, I had bought that record around time the station at KMEL started playing it on the station. That station at that time played alot of freestyle and overall have a awesome lineup of personality DJ's and mixshows. In the early 90's they did change their format to Strictly R&B and Rap, ugh =(

these are just the stations that were reporting to billboard magazine - there were still so many stations in many states that were still adding her music to their lineup -

this was just a taste to show those who may have doubted how successful her music was -:blah

Being backed up by a major label, plus being extremely talented really did push SAFIRE's music up the charts & played on top radio stations across the country.

Her music truly went a lot further than most of the other female freestyle artists -
