Western music heartbreak song rankings [2026] (51–60)
The ReasonHoobastank57rank/position
This song by a band with a Japanese American vocalist can be considered one of Hoobastank’s signature tracks.
Although the lyrics are about heartbreak, the grandeur of the rock ballad makes it feel good to listen to, and it seems like it could give you a bit of encouragement when you’re going through a breakup.
GirlfriendAvril Lavigne58rank/position
Without the lyrics, it sounds like a bright, upbeat song, but once the lyrics are added, it’s actually about a confident, slightly stubborn girl who’s in love with a boy who already has a girlfriend.
It’s a track that makes me a bit envious, thinking how nice it would be to be as bold and self-assured as the girl in the song.
Better NowPost Malone59rank/position
This is a song by American artist Post Malone about the lingering feelings for a former lover.
Even while putting on a brave face and saying “I’m fine without you,” the heart can’t help but keep thinking of that person—many of us have probably felt that way.
Despite its upbeat melody, the lyrics lay bare a painfully straightforward longing that tightens the chest.
An unforgettable love can be agonizing, but the experience of loving someone that deeply will surely help you grow.
Listen to “Better Now,” accept your feelings just once, and take your next step forward.
Because of youKelly Clarkson60rank/position
The sadness and anger you feel when you go through a breakup and lose someone important.
Kelly’s “Because of You,” which quietly yet powerfully conveys these complex emotions, is recommended for women in their 30s who want to vent their tangled feelings through song.
Western Pop Breakup Songs Ranking [2026] (61–70)
Shout Out to My ExLittle Mix61rank/position
A girl group formed from the TV program X Factor.
This song is said to be about Zayn, formerly of One Direction, whom member Perrie Edwards was even engaged to.
It also appears that the lyrics mention Zayn’s ex-girlfriend, Gigi Hadid.
All I WantKodaline62rank/position
This song, whose ambient sound creates a mysterious atmosphere, is by the Irish rock band Kodaline.
It is included on their debut album, In a Perfect World, released in 2013.
The lyrics express gratitude to a loved one who helped the singer realize what truly matters.
Big Girls Don’t CryFergie63rank/position
This song, also covered in the hugely popular TV series Glee, is Fergie’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry.” The image of a woman putting on a brave face, saying she won’t cry even after a heartbreak, is truly touching.
Her cute voice sounds stronger and more fragile than usual, making this a heart-wrenching track.
