Lovebirds or Heartbreak: Top Valentine’s Day Playlists on Facebook

by Jonathan Chang

Do you have a go-to break up song? An anthem you find yourself listening to on repeat when you switch your relationship status to “Single?” Or what about that song you love listening to when you’re "In a relationship?” Every day, people are breaking up and entering into relationships on Facebook. When they do, they play songs that personify their mood. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, we looked at the songs most played by people in the U.S. on Spotify as they make their relationships and breakups "Facebook official".


Among lovebirds on Facebook, Jason Derulo takes the top spot with his hit "Don't Wanna Go Home". When users fall in love they feel like celebrating, so along with romantic songs like "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars, users also play songs like "No Sleep" by Whiz Kalifa.



"The Cave" by Mumford and Sons tops the list for breakup songs. Other tracks such as "All of the Lights" by Kanye West and "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele were also frequently listened to when ending a relationship. The hip-hop star, Drake, has two songs on the break-up playlist, including “Take Care” featuring Rihanna and "Crew Love".
