Love your top tens!
Oldies, but goodies!
My favorite new Break-up song is Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri. Go listen!
Last one is my favourite.
LOL! Great list! I actually like all those, even when I haven't broken up with anyone.
Can't argue with this list of classics. Now I have You're So vain running through my head. Love Carly Simon.
I'd add, any song you love and your ex hates. Loud.
Lots of good tunes here. Love-gone-wrong, with all its heartbreak, is always a great topic for music. Have a nice weekend.
Good choices!
Excellent list! :D
Get off of my cloud! I'd forgotten about that song. Good one.
Oh my gosh. Three Dog Night. I'm in my teenage bedroom and I have the arm of the record player open so the album I snuck from my brother will play again and again and again.
Ha! Interesting follow up to Valentine's Day, Carol. I have a fondness for "Love Hurts" but I'm a drama queen. :)
Have a great weekend!
Gail - Thanks!
Colette - Love that song. Content is perfect, but the title alone didn't convey the feeling as much as these - at least for me.
Delores - Mine, too :)
Linda G - Cool!
Stephen - Enjoy listening to her, LOL!
Great choices!
Great break-up songs, Carol. Hopefully, I won't need to hear them any time soon.
Love your list. It made me remember the oldie, Hit The Road Jack. Have a great weekend.

So good! Did you see Glen on the Grammys? He sang Rhinestone Cowboy...it was awesome! Happy Friday!
JoLynne - Oh, yes!
Joanne - Cryin' in your beer songs :)
Linda K - Thanks.
Kyra - Something for everyone.
Luanne - Some of these really brought back a memory or two.
I only know a couple of these songs- I adore 'King of the Road'
I have #1 stuck in my head now. :)
Liza - Wow. Talk about a memory!
VR - Oh, that's a good one!
Elizabeth - Thanks.
Elspeth - You and me, both.
Mason - Oh! Totally didn't think of that one at all, or it would have been here for sure :)
I love your selection of songs, especially #1.
I think this is an oldies list, lol.
I know a few of 'em.
Happy Friday :-)
Tracy Jo - Yes, I agree :)
Summer - All oldies.
Laura - I had a few stuck there.
Janet - Thanks.
Joyful - All oldies. I had Bad Romance and Rude Boy in the group, but not as many newer titles seemed to fit, so I decided to go Old School.
I was going to mention "Hit the road, Jack" but Mason beat me to it.
Southpaw - Both of you are smarter than I am since I forgot all about it.
Aaah, I love the Beatles! For me, Dashboard Confessional's first CD has some awesome breakup music. Very moody stuff. :)
I was starting to wonder...!
Cortney - Thanks for the tip :)
Alex - No worries. He and I are still Valentines :)
Love lots of those songs! :)
Those are wonderful!
LR - Me, too.
Clarissa - Glad you like them.
Zombie is the perfect pick! :)
Talli - I try, LOL!
Another great list, and I always think of King of the Road right before I close my eyes whenever my husband gets behind the wheel! Julie
Oh man - I haven't listened to Carly Simon forever! I used to listen to her all the time. Now I think I need to find some of her stuff on iTunes. Fun post and great song choices :)
I haven't actually heard of any of these songs before--thanks for the links. :)
Oops. I thought they were links since they were bolded out--thanks for the list.
:P
Julie - Too funny!
Leigh - Good luck :)
Golden Eagle - Slaps forehead! I should have linked them. Didn't even think about it. Good catch :)
Just copy, paste, and search.
Great list, brought back lots of memories!
Love your list of Top Ten! Thanks!
Connie - For many of us, I think.
Nas - I'm happy you enjoyed this.
These are great breakup songs. I remember all of them. Boy, do they take me back in time. Thanks for the memory trip.
I am so late to the party this week, but I got here finally. Good list. I Will Survive goes on my list too :-)
Kathi - A little time capsule :)
Melissa - No problem. Good title!
