No. 10: All-American Rejects :: Gives You Hell 4g1y5y
Lead singer Tyson Ritter has said this song is about a guy who did him wrong back before he was famous, but the lyrics can just as easily apply to a mean ex. Either way, "Gives You Hell" is a fun song to let out your anger to.

No. 9: Lady Gaga :: Paparazzi 6oo1e
The great Gaga talks trash about fame and stalkers. Ever followed someone until they loved you? If so, youāre probably still following them because stalking just begets more stalking. Listen to the Gaga--say no to stalking!
No. 8: Lykke Li :: Little Bit 504i18
If youāve ever been too proud to tell someone you love them, youāll relate to Lykke Liās cute little ditty about how embarrassment and game-playing can sabotage a potential relationship.
No. 7: Alicia Keys :: Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart 1y631y
Getting dumped is never fun. Trying to fall asleep at night is the worst for Ms. Keys because thatās when she her ex the most. Still, this ballad is empowering as Alicia keeps telling herself, āIām gonna find a way to make it without you.ā

No. 6: Kanye West :: Heartless g475s
Even megastars like Kanye can get their hearts trampled. You wonāt find a more straight up break-up jam than this one. Kanye penned Heartless after getting played by his long-term girlfriendāthe pain and loneliness are easy to relate to for anyone who's ever been on the bad side of a breakup.
#5. Phoenix :: 1901 5a5l19
"1901" is definitely the catchiest, happiest-sounding song about heartbreak. Unless you listen to the lyrics, that mention āgirlfriend, oh your girlfriend is drifting away,ā youād never guess this pop gem was about a guy getting played by a girl. Listen to this one when you need to boost your mood.

No. 4: Rihanna :: Hard 6i351v
After the public controversy surrounding Rihanna and Chris Brown, Rihanna needed a strong single to announce her comeback and "Hard" is itāāthey can say whatever/Iāma do whatever/no pain is forever.ā With "Hard", Rihanna proves sheās still a force to be reckoned she uses her music to overcome the scandal.
No. 3: Kelly Clarkson :: Already Gone 4z212r
Kelly mourns a relationship that was doomed from the start. Neither Kelly nor her boyfriend could make each other happy so she had to leave so they both could find someone who can. This is Kelly at her bestābelting out a heartsick ballad.
No. 2: Beyonce :: Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) 4q6g1g
Single Ladies is a twisted kind of ladies liberation anthemāon the one hand, B has dumped her man for not committing, but on the other hand, sheās practically begging for a marriage on the rocks. If a guy canāt commit without a ring, chances are itās not going to be any different when youāre married! That said, "Single Ladies" is an undeniably catchy tune guaranteed to get your booty shaking.

No. 1: Taylor Swift :: Fifteen 3e4s4x
Taylor lays down some real talk on relationshipsāit all seems so genuine and heavy when youāre young and in love, but even though you might swear youāre āgonna marry him someday,ā Taylor emphasizes the important of ārealiz[ing] some bigger dreams.ā
