Breakups are like snowflakes: no two are exactly the same. So, too, are the songs that get us through them. Lucky for those in the throws of a breakup, 2008 brought us an array of tunes for the wounded heart. A "good divorce" might feel even better after a listen to Pink's empowered breakup anthem, "So What," written about her own split from husband Corey Hart. Wondering whether to stay or leave? Adele's "Chasing Pavements" sings to your conflicted heart. Finally, those moving out of mourning must have Beyonce's "Single Ladies" in the mix. Musical genius it might not be, but getting out, shaking your thing and reminding yourself why he wasn't worth it all while mimicking B's fierce dance moves can't lead a broken-heart-on-the-mend girl wrong.

Herewith, a field guide to ten we think are well worth skirting—yes, even if you're going through a dry spell. 10. The Iron-Stomached Chef: He offers to cook for you—you politely gag down undercooked sea urchin. (Hint: the sex will be worse.) 9. The Wanna-be Bachelor: Shows up to your blind date holding a single red rose.
