Music can be an incredibly powerful tool. Whether you're looking to sing out loud and vent your frustration on a bad day or set the mood for romance, certain songs have the ability to set that tone; whatever the situation might be.
I know what your favorite sad song is, but since new hits come out weekly, do tell, what was your favorite breakup song of 2008?

9i really like "take a bow" by rhianna too, but the pink song "so what" is technically the best one! she deserves to win because she took such a chance on that song!

Kanye West- Heartless, Love Lockdown, and See you in my Nightmares.
All from his new album coming out.
Great songs!
12OneRepublic - "Apologize"
13Jazmine Sullivan- Bust Your Windows.
14I think the title says it all, honestly.
oh! and Ciara- My love and Like a Boy.
15I was going to say Love Lockdown, but I couldn't figure out if it's really a break up song. Anyways that's a great song regardless.
16Soullight, I think it is.
Its really good too.
The other ones I mentioned really hit you. lol.
17ok just thought of one more, for my spanish side
18"La Frase Tonta de la Semana"-5ta Estacion
there were quite a few...
191) Pink's Rockstar... esp on the days where you just want to sing out loud uninhibited and dance crazy... I think this was the best and she does deserve it since she had a real life heartbreak
2) Kanye's Lovelock... for the chill days
3) Katy Perry's Hot n Cold... for the wtheck days
4) One Republic's Apologize... another one you can sing out loud but hard to dance too
5) Rihanna's Take A Bow... for also chill but a different type
... just my opinion
Tie.. for different reasons.
1. Put a Ring on It - Beyonce
2. Where I Stood - Missy Higgins
Love them both.
20Oh yeah.. and of course 'Cry Me a River' and 'What Goes Around'-Mr.Sexyback himself! And 'Goodman' and 'Another You' by John Mayer.
With a little 'It's Not Right, But it's Okay' Whitney Houston.
21Fiona Apples "Paper Bag"
22I just love the line "I though he was a man but he was just a little boy"
One Republic - Apologize
23Katy Perry - Hot n Cold
My son in the 3th grade treats his crush better than some men treat women!
'Mama don't take no mess' James Brown LOL
24I Will - Jamie Johnson
Pretty new...
25Better In Time - Leona Lewis
26Pieces - Sum 41
27Cold as You - Taylor Swift
28Taylor Swift... "Cold as You," "Should've Said No," "Picture to Burn," and the new tune, "I'm Not Sorry."
29oops, i meant "You're Not Sorry."
30Pink - so what
31Livin' All Alone- Phyllis Hyman, Congratulations- Vesta Williams!!! and Thanks for My Child- Cheryl Pepsii Riley if you want to get deep, deep, DEEP down into the pits of sorrow. Have a friend nearby however.

33don't know if it was 2008, but BEFORE HE CHEATS by CARRIE UNDERWOOD rocks!
34Love Kanye West's Heartless!

43Dickhead by Kate Nash, Best for Last by Adele, Love is a losing Game by Amy Winehouse... I guess I love those british chicks.
44Oh yes Amy Winehouse: My tears dry on there own...
45Is this for songs about breakups, or songs that you listened to when you broke up with someone? I didn't break up with anyone so we will go with "So What" - Pink, and "Put a Ring on It" - Beyonce. Those have both been said but I liked them both when they came out:)

47It's a tie: Breakin it Up by Lykke Li and Foundations by Kate Nash
48Rihanna-Take a bow-perfect song for me!
One Rep- Apologize
49WTH! I totally disregarded the 2008 theme! LOL I can't think of one. I've been ignoring current music for the past couple of years.
Put a Ring on It only makes me think of Justin. And I laugh. And THEN cry!
