Testing on staging11
(KSNW/NEXSTAR) — Need some extra cash? Well, here’s one company that’s offering $1,100 to listen to 24 hours worth of breakup songs.
Money resource outlet FinanceBuzz is looking for someone who’s recently gone through a breakup to listen to 24 hours of breakup songs. Then, the “DJ of Heartache” will work to categorize and rate the songs based on whether or not they helped — all in the hopes of creating the ultimate breakup playlist. The musical menu will include everything from classic rock to contemporary artists, FinanceBuzz says.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old and based in the United States. The deadline to apply is 12 a.m. ET on Feb. 14 — does that date ring a bell?
The winner will be notified by email and will have two weeks to complete the assignment and receive the $1,100.
Curious which breakup songs might be in store?
Research done last year by legal information outlet Learn Divorce Law analyzed nearly 100 “breakup songs” to find the most popular ones from the past five years based on Spotify and YouTube streams.
The study found the most popular breakup songs at that time included:
- “Someone You Loved” — Lewis Capaldi (3.2 billion streams)
- “SAD!” — XXXTentacion (3.1 billion)
- “Happier” — Marshmello and Bastille (2.8 billion)
- “Don’t Start Now” — Dua Lipa (2.7 billion)
- “Kill This Love” — Blackpink (2.4 billion)
A few big breakup songs released since then include “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus, “Vampire” by Olivia Rodrigo, “Maroon” by Taylor Swift, “Tummy Hurts” by Reneé Rapp and “Kill Bill” by SZA, if you want a few more.
Valentine’s Day is Wednesday, February 14. We hope it’s uneventful for you if you’re dreading it. To apply to be FinanceBuzz’s “DJ of Heartache,” click here.
