Is marriage costing Mariah Carey serious money?

Mariah Carey's first single from E=MC2 was a smash, but two follow-ups - released after her marriage to Nick Cannon - bombed. Is marriage costing her?

No. It's your tiny, tiny attention span. It's ruining everything. That's why "Bye Bye" only peaked at 19. It was all you. "This year, it's been harder for big superstars to keep the spotlight shining on them after the run-up to their album is over," Idolator editor Maura Johnston tells me.

"Look at the way singles by Usher and Madonna have performed - you'll see a similar pattern," Johnston says. Usher's "Love in This Club" went to No. 1, but its follow-up single, "Moving Mountains", peaked at No. 67. As for Madonna, "4 Minutes" peaked at No. 3, while "Give It to Me" only reached No. 57.

I hope you're pleased with yourself.
