A slightly different option, instead of being based on particular years and decades this covers the whole of the data, but only picking songs that are broadly classified as rock, alternative or indie. Note that this is more experimental, at the moment, than the other playlists as genres are a bit harder to accurately get from the underlying data.

The Ultimate Breakup Playlist

Getting over someone is never easy, but music has a way of helping us process our emotions. As we navigate the ups and downs of heartbreak, we often find solace in songs that capture our feelings of sadness, longing, and frustration. In this playlist, we're bringing together a diverse range of tracks that are sure to resonate with anyone who's ever gone through a tough breakup.

Classic hits like Elton John's Something About The Way You Look Tonight and Rod Stewart's Sailing evoke a sense of nostalgia and melancholy, while modern chart-toppers like Lewis Capaldi's Forget Me and The Chainsmokers' Closer showcase the pain and heartache of lost love. Then there are the iconic breakup anthems like The Verve's The Drugs Don't Work and Radiohead's Creep, which have become synonymous with heartbreak.

From 50s doo-wop to 2020s alt-rock, this playlist takes you on a journey through the decades, featuring an eclectic mix of artists and styles. You might find yourself singing along to familiar favourites like U2's Where The Streets Have No Name or Bryan Adams' (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, or discovering new gems like Linkin Park's The Emptiness Machine and Central Cee's Obsessed With You.

Whether you're going through a breakup, a rough patch, or just need a musical pick-me-up, this playlist is here to validate your emotions and provide a soundtrack for your journey. So grab a cuppa, press play, and let the healing begin!
