It's the best break up songs. Who has poured vitriol and bitterness into a song to make sure the recipient is quite clear things are over!

The Chicks have just released their new album which is most certainly a break up album – which other songwriters have managed to pen the perfect break up track – Alanis Morisette’s ex must have felt uncomfortable when she sang You Oughtta Know, what about when Janis sang the crushing lines It’s too Late or even Mr Brightside who really wasn’t that bright about life when he realised it was all about to end.
