Western Music Tearjerker Song Ranking [2026] (71–80)
You should be sadHalsey78rank/position
Halsey’s go-to tearjerker, “You should be sad.” The melody is generally on the brighter side, but the overall tone is serious.
Even if you don’t understand the lyrics, it’s the kind of song that can make you cry just from the melody.
The chorus has a powerful, scream-like feel that’s bound to stir your emotions.

A track released in 1998 by American artist Lauryn Hill.
It was a hit in the United States and across Europe, reaching No.
1 on the UK charts.
It samples Wu-Tang Clan’s 1993 track “Can It Be All So Simple.”
EverytimeBritney Spears80rank/position
Britney has quite a few intense tracks, but this one is a relaxed ballad.
It’s also a heartbreak song that expresses the complex feelings of loving someone who won’t look your way.
I think it’s one of those songs that reaffirms that Britney really does have vocal prowess.
