I would say virtually all progressive music, very little of the music i listen to follows the "traditional" verse/chorus format.
Garbage- Bleed Like Me
Jewel- Pieces Of You
Placebo- Blue American
I noticed these songs are telling a story, so they don't really have a chorus but they usually repeat a phrase after every verse...

1981-82's good for this, OMD's 'Maid of Orleans' and especially Laurie Anderson's 'O Superman' two of the oddest (but brilliant) top 5 hits to ever grace the chart.
Can't Speak French - Girls Aloud
The Show - Girls Aloud
Notorious - The Saturdays (I think - it sounds a bit all over the place to me but I still love the song)

Love Trilogy by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Although a more famous one would be Under the Bridge, where the chorus comes in at the end.

Probably some Pet Shop Boys stuff? What Have I Done To Deserve This doesn't really have a 'chorus' to speak of, just drawn-out repetition of the title. 'Losing My Mind' at least in the Liza Minnelli version barely has two verses, linked by what is probably best described as an early bridge rather than a chorus.
ABBA's Like An Angel Passing Through My Room is basically verse, with the title itself when it occurs within the song possibly able to be described as the 'chorus', at a stretch.
Diana Ross's Chain Reaction doesn't have a 'proper' chorus.

What the hell? An awful lot of these songs have quite clear verses and choruses!
A few of my suggestions:
Rihanna - Red Lipstick
Rihanna - Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary
Rihanna - Get It Over With
Kanye West - Power
Pretty much all of Kanye West's Yeezus album
Azealia Banks - 212
Jay Z/Kanye West - Niggas In Paris
Florence & The Machine - Dog Days Are Over

The following songs by Eternal are unusual in structure:
1. CRAZY
2. DON'T YOU LOVE ME
3. SOMEDAY - I can't detect a chorus in this song!

If you only know them for "Kids" and "Time To Pretend" then listen to this, It couldn't be more different. And it's only 12 minutes long

A lot of Robyn's music doesn't flow in the usual way we're used to either.
-Love Kills
-With Every Heartbeat
And more recently 'Every Little Thing' from her new EP.
I like the more unpredictable flow tbh
