Yeah, I’d go with Nick Lachey. His big hit single was all about moving on after the divorce with Jessica.

No divorce, but … “Cry Me a River”? And the notoriety from Eminem’s divorce/reconciliation cycles helped to boost his sales.

Also, though her whole album isn’t about her divorce per se, Solange’s Would’ve Been the One off her latest solo LP is pretty stellar and open with the emotions and the details.

@andrialisle: That record is amazing, but it was a disaster for Motown.

What about my favorite Bruce album, Tunnel of Love? I know, I know, it was the follow-up to Born in the U.S.A. and interest was high. But I still remember being like 9 years old, watching Baba Wawa pressing an incredibly uncomfortable Springsteen for details about his disintegrating marriage. Perhaps the publicity around his personal life helped keep the album in view?

K-Fed. Oh wait, even his divorce couldn’t attract more than 40 people per show to his post-Britney tour…

Not just divorces that inspired music: divorces whose story helped spur record sales.

@Rob Murphy:

Yep. Saw it on the news this morning. I'm gonna go ahead and blame A-Rod just for shits and giggles.
