Chorus by Erasure
Chorus is an album by Erasure, released in 1991. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 20 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Chorus”, on 12 lists with a best position of #8.
Chorus, Erasure's fifth album, arrived on Mute in October 1991, and it's the synth-pop duo at the peak of their powers. Vince Clarke, who had already helped start Depeche Mode and Yazoo, builds bubbling, crystalline electronic backdrops, and Andy Bell sings over them with all the heart-on-sleeve drama he can muster, which is plenty.
The title track and "Love to Hate You" were the big hits, with "Breath of Life" not far behind, and the album went to number one in Britain, part of a run of five straight chart-topping albums, and picked up a Mercury Prize nomination.
