In honor of my book, How to be Dumped: the Definitive Breakup Guide dropping next Tuesday, here's some breakup themed whatnot for you all. YAY FOR BREAKUPS!
Best breakup songs of ALL TIME, Kanye? Really? Maybe not...but here are some of the songs a group of experts (ahem) from Facebook threw at me. Enjoy an abbreviated version of this Listly post here on ye olde blogue.

First up, nobody quite does subtle, quiet anger like Ani. If you want to politely send a "fuck you" to your ex, this is the way to do it.
Nice try, beyotch. Cry it out, I ain't takin' you back.
Crude? Yes. Perfectly captures a little male angst over bitches not being able to hang on the mother fucking Compton streets? Also yes.
IT'S TOO LATE FOR I LOVE YOU, says Phil Collins, quietly.
The original "Cry Me a River," all about not taking back the jerk who broke your heart in the first place.
Despite not quite knowing how to spell "you," has there been any better anthem to breakups in the last decade?
OK, except for maybe this?
The title says it all, really.
One of the best, angriest songs about Canadian Dave Coulier ever. (Note to self: Do NOT breakup with Alanis Morisette for an older version of herself.)
I mean, we'll never know if you/I would be something I/you would be good at, but just let this woman stare into your ever-loving soul for a minute, k?
Also, because TNR readers are the MUTHAFUCKIN' best, here's an entire breakup playlist that'll seriously knock your socks off. Thanks to Christina for sharing!!
