Recently one of my friends broke up with her boyfriend.
As a result, she felt the need to listen to "SINGLE LADIES" by Beyonce...many, many times a day.
If I wanted to express the happiness about being single, I wouldn't want to listen to the techno-pop treble epileptic seizure that is that song.
Therefore, I made my own "Breakup/being single" playlist. I honestly don't know about the whole breakup thing since I've never had a serious boyfriend, but still I think these songs show it well enough.
PS, most of this is pop music...just b/c it's easier to search through my 10000 iTunes songs for extremely obviously named breakup songs, usually falling in the pop music category. Also, the girl I made the list for doesn't really like non-pop music, so Buddy Guy was out of the question...
Kate Nash "Shit Song"
Because the chorus is... "Darling don't give me shit cuz I know that you're full of it."

All American Rejects "Gives You Hell"
Because the chorus is..."When you see my face, hope it gives you hell."

Aly & AJ "Potential Breakup Song"
Allmusic.com gave this a surprisingly high rating for a couple of Disney-spawned music makers. This works because of "Who would forget that? The type of guy who doesn't see what he has until she leaves."

No Doubt "Ex-Girlfriend"
Lyrics snippet: "I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend"

"My friends tell me to leave you; That you're bad news, bad news, bad news"

Skye Sweetnam "Number One"
I just love her style. Here she is shouting her single ladies new anthem, "Now I'm living on the run, lookin' out for Number One."

Natasha Bedingfield "Single"
"[I] Don't depend on a guy to validate me...I'm single (Right now) That's how I wanna be"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxTgK29qRCo
The Guess Who "No Time"
"No time for the love you send; Seasons change and so did I"

Oh man, a breakup playlist is a real bummer.
See, I don't get it. Why listen to music that will depress you out even more? It's all about celebrating life, yeah single life, coupled life, whatever. Just life, man!
I know, I know. "Mr. Sunshine" over here, but hell, somebody's gotta be :)

"She's The One" (awesome...with Spanish subtitles so a bonus!)
