 Chorus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In popular music, chorus is used to mean the refrain of a song, which often sharply contrasts the verse melodically, rhythmically, and harmonically, and assumes a higher level of dynamics and activity, often with added instrumentation.
Chorus form, or strophic form, is a sectional and/or additive way of structuring a piece of music based on the repetition of one formal section or block played repeatedly.
In classical music a chorus is any substantial group of performers in a play, revue, musical or opera who act more or less as one.

 Amazon.com: Music: Chorus [CD-SINGLE] [EP]
When Erasure released "Chorus" in 1991, they were the number one band in the UK and one of the most successful synth pop groups of the era.
Erasure would survive the early grunge years, releasing several more hits and topping the LP charts twice more before the arrival of Oasis and the guitar-based Britpop movement stalled their career with the release of their eponymously titled "Erasure" album in 1995.
"Chorus" proved them to be more than a bouncy, campy singles band: they were pop craftsmen of the first order.
