Songs by Lewis Capaldi are those most likely to be listened to by people trying to get over a break-up, according to a new survey.
Research by GoodLuckMate found that music by the West Lothian superstar is often used by singletons when trying to mend a broken heart.
When looking at global Spotify playlists featuring the words 'break up' and 'heartbreak' Capaldi was featured more than 1000 times. More than any other artist in music.
As reported by the Daily Record, Olivia Rodrigo - whose recent hit include ballad driver's license - took the top spot as the most popular female for break-up music.
The analysis also revealed there is a pattern when it comes to what makes a good break-up song - it’s either sung in key C# or E# with an average tempo of 109bpm.
The top 100 song list proves that no one is safe from a brutal heartache, with the split of 50.1 per cent female to 47 per cent male artists and groups.
Nerijus Grenda, CEO at GoodLuckMate, said: “It’s been really interesting to study what songs people are turning to mend their broken hearts after such a brutal month of breakups.
“Music is a massive part of people’s lives, especially during a lockdown, when it is proven even harder than ever for people to connect the way they used to. So, if you’re feeling blue and lonely, we hope our breakup playlist provides soothing solace.”
