Ask the general music fan what their favourite break-up song is and we're willing to bet most will name an Adele tear-jerker. But what does the lady herself listen to when she's feeling weepy?

One thing is for certain, it's not her own music. The 28-year-old has listed her top six break-up songs ahead of the North American leg of her world tour next month.

"I mope around for a little while," Adele told People of her routine after a break-up. "I do embrace the fact that I'm heartbroken. I don't move on quickly. 

"I don't know if that's because it seems that I'm only really creative when I'm a bit momentarily depressed."

So just what has made Adele's top six break-up songs playlist? Find out below.

1. 'I Can't Make You Love Me' - Bonnie Raitt
