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?

    Theory of a Deadman - So Happy. AWESOME lyrics about being happy about getting rid of the person. I will have to listen to this song later when I get home now.

    i 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!

    I 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.

    there were quite a few...
    1) 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

    Is 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:)
