Breakups: they just suck. Doesn’t matter whether you’re the one that got dumped, or the one that did the dumping, breakups are just… the worst. This week, I decided to compile a playlist tailored towards breakups: five songs for the first stage of a breakup, and five songs for the second stage of a breakup. The first five songs are specially picked to help you wallow in your sadness. Grab a pint (or seven pints) of Ben and Jerry’s, stock up on the tissues, and allow yourself to let out all the feels with these five heartbreakers. The second five songs are tailored to the female empowerment stage of a breakup, the “I’m a strong and independent woman who don’t need no man” stage. These five songs are best sung with a group of your best girl friends, and when I say sung I mean belted at the top of your lungs. You’ll be ready to take on the single scene in no time. So, without further ado, here they are:

The “Wallow-In-Your-Sadness” Five

  1. “Someone Like You” – Adele
  2. “The Scientist” – Coldplay
  3. “What Hurts The Most” – Rascal Flatts
  4. “Every Breath You Take” – The Police
  5. “Yesterday” – The Beatles

The “Female Empowerment” Five

  1. “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” – Taylor Swift
  2. “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” – Kelly Clarkson
  3. “Before He Cheats” – Carrie Underwood
  4. “Irreplaceable” – Beyonce
  5. “Roar” – Katy Perry

There you have it. With these ten songs you’ll go from this:
