Best Break-Up Songs

Scientists say listening to sad songs after a breakup are actually beneficial in helping wounded hearts heal. The reason being, 'aesthetic' products that match are moods function as a consoling friend might.

After a particularly bad break up with my husband Perry (he couldn't stay away), I consoled myself with Toni Braxton and, after opening the phones on Madison and Shepherd this morning, we discovered Garth Brooks, Skeeter Davis and Guns 'N Roses healed a few in our audience.

Below is a cross section of what's considered some of the best break-up songs of all time (in no particular order) but feel free to add yours in the comments below.

Dolly Parton 'I Will Always Love You'
