Kırık Kalpler Durağında (At the Stop of Broken Hearts) is the sixth studio album by Turkish singer Candan Erçetin. It was released on 16 December 2009 by Pasaj Müzik. It was her second studio album released by this company, and her first major work since the 2004 release of Melek. The album features elements of pop music, folk music and hip hop. Candan Erçetin is the album's major songwriter, having written ten of its songs on her own. Out of these ten songs, six of them were composed by her as well. All of the songs were arranged by Alper Erinç.
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. Another song from the album, "Kader", was used on the soundtrack of the movie Kaptan Feza (2010). After releasing music videos for these two songs, Erçetin made two more music videos for the album: "Kırık Kalpler Durağında" and "Git".
In Kırık Kalpler Durağında, Erçetin included a new version of "Unutama Beni", originally performed by Esmeray. For the song "Gözler", verses from the poems of Neyzen Tevfik and Omar Khayyam were used. Over 100,000 copies of the album were ordered in the music markets, and it ranked first on D&R Best-Selling list in Turkey. The album continued to remain among the top ten by the end of 2010. It also was nominated for the Best Album award at the 2010 Kral Music Awards and Radio Boğaziçi Awards. The album earned Erçetin the Best Female Turkish Pop Music Soloist award at the 2010 Golden Butterfly Awards.
