Kırık Kalpler Durağında (At the Stop of Broken Hearts) is the sixth studio album by Turkish singer Candan Erçetin.
Containing 16 songs in total, Kırık Kalpler Durağında received generally positive reviews from critics, who believed that the main difference of this album with Erçetin's previous work was the greater use of Balkan music elements.
The first single that was released from the album was "Ben Kimim", which was used on the soundtrack of the 2009 movie Gölgesizler and ranked second on Billboard Türkçe Top 20.
In Kırık Kalpler Durağında, Erçetin included a new version of "Unutama Beni", originally performed by Esmeray.
I think it's time to say something.After recording the album over the course of six months, Kırık Kalpler Durağında was released on 16 December 2009 by Pasaj Müzik.
Besides Erçetin and Atalay, Cemal Safi, Şemi Diriker, Neyzen Tevfik, Omar Khayyam, Ayşe Kulin and Sinan were the figures whose poems and lyrics were used in the songs.
The song "Unutama Beni", which had originally appeared in Esmeray's Kağıt Mendil (1993) was performed again by Erçetin and included in the album.

Music website Gerçek Pop published a review in which it was said that Erçetin had passed the "pause phase" in her career and gave the album three stars out of five.
It also stated that the album was "a work that many young artists should take note from" and praised Erçetin's "friendly pose" on the cover.
The website compared "Git" to Erçetin's hits in the 2000s, and viewed the songs "Unutama Beni", "Vallahi" and "Yalvaramam" as "serious stumbles" in this album.
