Walkaway Lover
"Walkaway Lover" is the third single performed by Australian actress/singer Toni Pearen released in October 1994, from her debut album ''Intimate''. Toni Pearen's first two singles " In Your Room" and " I Want You" both peaked at number ten on the Australian singles chart and were each certified gold. "Walkaway Lover" debuted at number 50 week ending 23 October and eventually peaked at number 35 week ending 11 November 1994, spending a total of twelve weeks in the top 50, and sixteen weeks in the top 100. The single was issued to coincide with the much anticipated release of the album ''Intimate''. Some could cite that the single's underperformance was because it was released more than one year after the successful second single "I Want You". This could also be seen as a reason the album itself also did not chart well. The song is a cover of an album track by British singer Sonia Sonia, Sonja or Sonya, a name of Greek origin meaning wisdom, may refer to: People * Sonia (name) ...

Pop Music
Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form during the mid-1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom. The terms ''popular music'' and ''pop music'' are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular and includes many disparate styles. During the 1950s and 1960s, pop music encompassed rock and roll and the youth-oriented styles it influenced. ''Rock'' and ''pop'' music remained roughly synonymous until the late 1960s, after which ''pop'' became associated with music that was more commercial, ephemeral, and accessible. Although much of the music that appears on record charts is considered to be pop music, the genre is distinguished from chart music. Identifying factors usually include repeated choruses and hooks, short to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), and rhythms or tempos that can be easily danced to.
