Top Ten Songs: Angry Break Up Playlist

69

A broken heart needs some good music
A broken heart needs some good music

#1 - "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson

Let Kelly Clarkson remind you of the bad times and how much better your life will be now that they are gone. Bonus points for cranking it up and singing it along with your buddies at the top of your lungs!

#2 - "My Happy Ending" by Avril Lavigne

Just like Avril you probably thought you were both going to walk down together into the sunset but alas in the real world there aren't always happy endings. Life sucks but hey so did your ex.

#3 - "Better in Time" by Leona Lewis

Leona Lewis reminds you that life will get much better soon even though it probably doesn't feel like it right now. But its always darkest before the dawn right?

#4 - "Over It" by Katherine McPhee

You and Katherine McPhee have both moved on and are so done with all the drama that your relationship caused. Don't forget that being single can be a lot of fun!

#5 - "What Goes Around Comes Around" by Justin Timberlake

Karma is a funny thing and Justin Timberlake says that your ex will get what they got coming. Soon they will wind up dating someone who will break their heart and hopefully you'll hear about it while your happily in love with someone new.

#6 - "Candles" by Hey Monday

Looks like a solo tonight but Hey Monday is positive that you'll be alright. You can also download the "Glee" version but the premise on the episode it was sang was more as a love story so maybe not.

#7 - "One Step at a Time" by Jordin Sparks

Love takes time and you and Jordin Sparks are going to have to be patient. If that means waiting till your thirties to find the love of your life then so be it. Or find that second love...or third...whichever number!

#8 - "Gives You Hell" by The All-American Rejects

The All-American Rejects do not wish your ex well and neither do you. Do you miss them? Maybe...NOT! They need to remember what they missed and you need to strut your stuff and remind them your are hot property.

Performed on Glee by Lea Michele when her character, Rachel Berry, was simply fed up with her on again, off again boyfriend, Finn Hudson. Those hot and cold messages he kept sending her? He deserved for her to tell him to go to hell in song.

#9 - "Firework" by Katy Perry

You might feel like a big loser now but Katy Perry disagrees. There was a reason they dated you in the beginning and there are tons of reasons new people will want to date you. In fact, you are pretty awesome and too bad they were too stupid to see that for themselves.

Lea Michele sings her own version on Glee which is absolutely fantastic and either hers or Katy Perry's version are great for a good ego boost.

#10 "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac

This song was written about the real life divorce between the founders of Fleetwood Mac, Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks and became a classic they must have performed together hundreds of times (makes your break up look easy!).

Again, Lea Michele sings this on Glee and her version is more modern and she gives it her own spin but the original is a classic that cannot be touched.

nycgirl -

I see that you are fairly new here too. Welcome aboard! HubPages is quite a lot of fun and, I'll warn you, a bit addicting. I will tell you that your heartbreak songs made me aware of my ripe old age. The only one of these songs that I know is "Go Your Own Way" - I have always loved Fleetwood Mac (and especially Stevie Nicks). I do love a good poignant song so I'll need to check these others out. I am a little proud of myself for atleast knowing who seven of the ten artists are and some of their songs. Do I get any points for that?

You are too funny cybersister. Please check these songs out as I think you will enjoy a lot of them. I know most of the older generation thinks that modern music stinks but its really not all bad. And I LOVE Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks! No matter what age you are a classic is just a classic :-)

Being of the "older generation" maybe I should work on being a classic - that sounds much better than just being old. Lots of the modern music isn't bad at all, I like some of it quite a bit, until I either can't understand the words or wish I couldn't understand them! I have teenage boys and have heard quite a variety. Right now I tend to listen to quite a bit of country music, which I originally HATED, but I can understand the words and relate to much of it. I really will give your top ten a try though and let you know how it goes :)

Thanks cloverleaf! I love Go Your Own Way, the guitar solo on that song is awesome. When they sang it on Glee I was super delighted!

This is a great list of empowering break up songs. That Kelly Clarkson song certainly got me through some difficult times. Voted up and awesome!

Thanks Jeannie! I absolutely love Kelly Clarkson and she has a few good break up/relationship gone bad songs (wonder what she's been through!). "Since you've been gone" though is the best, its just so fierce and angry. I always sing it at the top of my lungs when thinking about my ex-boyfriends, makes ya just feel better
