Heartbreak Station


"Heartbreak Station" is a track by American rock band Cinderella, taken from their 1990 third studio album of the same name, released through Mercury Records. The album marked a blues-influenced shift in the band's sound, making it a rewarding study for electric guitar players interested in expressive, feel-driven playing. Its melodic structure and rootsy tone offer solid material for guitarists looking to explore dynamics and phrasing beyond standard hard rock.

  • The parent album reached No. 19 on the Billboard 200 chart in December 1990, showing strong commercial reach for its blues-rock style.
  • The album went platinum after shipping one million copies by February 1991, reflecting wide listener appeal for its guitar-driven sound.
  • The song runs approximately 4 minutes and 29 seconds, giving guitarists extended space to study its melodic and dynamic arc.
