Adele Reveals Her Favorite Breakup Songs: \'I Do Embrace the Fact That I\'m Heartbroken\'

"I mope around for a little while," says Adele of her post-breakup routine. "I do embrace the fact that I\'m heartbroken. I don\'t move on quickly. I don\'t know if that\'s because it seems that I\'m only really creative when I\'m a bit momentarily depressed." The songs born out of these "momentarily depressed" states are among the most emotionally powerful the pop music canon.

Don\'t be fooled by the uptempo bangers, summery music videos and candy-coated bras – Perry\'s

album packs a subtle melancholic wallop strong enough to reduce the statue to sobs. Here Perry reminds us that love doesn\'t always have a Hollywood ending.

Adele threw it back to 1960 for this gloriously old-school classic by a young James.
