Going through a heartbreak? No worries, the music has got you covered. From the timeless classics - “Ain’t No Sunshine” (Bill Withers) and “Walk On By” (Isaac Hayes) - to some under-the-radar favourites like “Just a Friend” (Biz Markie) and “We can’t be friends” (Deborah Cox), all come in handy when dealing with a broken heart.

Spotify says there are over half a million break-up themed playlists on the platform alone. Incredible. I argue here there’s a good reason why Taylor Swift is the top artist of her generation - all she writes are breakup songs. But where do investors find comfort when the stock market is going nowhere?
