"I Could Break Your Heart Any Day of The Week" by Mandy Moore

When people spoke about Mandy Moore in the 2000s they mostly thought about her as a young pop princess. She had a successful recording career with popular songs like "Candy" (#41) and "I Wanna Be With You" (#24).

Today, most people think of Moore's acting career, most famously the hit show This Is Us. She still gets to impress with her vocal chops during the show as a part-time singer in a bar band.

During her transition from music to acting, her 2009 album, "Amanda Leigh," is often overlooked. It is not the typical album of pop fluff one might expect, but a well-crafted pop album in which powerpop mastermind Mike Viola had a heavy hand. "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day of The Week" was the first single, and while it failed to chart, remains one of the finest tunes in Moore's catalogue.
