Increasing number of women no longer depend on a husband financially. More and more women are less restricted by age and look for the type of man they like.

Things are not looking good for diva Mariah Carey. The 39-year-old’s remixes for her ‘Angel’s Advocate’ LP have failed to excite fans, with the lead singles ‘Up Out My Face’ featuring Nicki Minaj and the Ne-Yo-assisted ‘Angel’s Cry’ failing miserably on the charts.

While ‘Up Out My Face’ peaked disappointingly at #100 on Billboard Hot 100, ”Cry’ embarrassingly never even garnered enough airplay or downloads to even debut on the chart.

However, though her new music hasn’t been fairing too well state-side, she’s still a star in Brazil. Her cover of the 1984 Foreigner classic “I Want To Know What Love Is,” barely got any airplay here in the US, but has been on the Brazilian charts for 20 consecutive weeks – at the #1 spot!!

The song has received the honor of being the longest chart-topper song in the country’s history! Brazil must really like their remixes!
