The Ultimate Heartbreak Songs

1. “Nothing Compares 2 You” – Sinead O’Connor

In 1990, a doe-eyed, delicate, Irish singer-songwriter by the name of Sinead O’Connor took it upon herself to cover this song (originally composed by Prince) and thus released the ultimate heartbreak track. Sinead’s personal tone in the song, along with the violin arrangements and background choruses create such a real and profound sadness over losing your lover that you’ll be through your tissue box by the end of this 4-minute ballad.
