I just realized that the best break-up song ever is “All I Want Is You” by U2. It must have slipped my mind when I was making the list a few days ago. Remember when the song played in “Reality Bites,” you know the part where Ethan Hawke chases Winona Ryder home. Oh, Winona . . .

Didn’t the video for the song have a circus midget in it?

BTW, the new Beyonce track “Check On It” is excellent. Compiling my tracks of the year will be difficult, but it will be done.
