Four singles made it to the Billboard charts. The Black Flames cover of "Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)" and Public Enemy's "Bring the Noise" were minor hits on the R&B charts, but LL Cool J's "Going Back to Cali" and The Bangles cover of "A Hazy Shade of Winter" fared better, making it to 31 and 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 respectively.
