I always find it odd that The Ketchup Song gets labelled as Spanish. The verses are mostly English with a few Spanish phrases and the chorus is complete gibberish.

    Most of Jimin's "Smeraldo Garden Marching Band" is in Korean, as is "That That" by Suga ft. PSY. Some of the others do have Korean lyrics but are sung mostly in English at a glance

That was the last time I followed a single up the charts, willing it to climb every week. It was such a pleasure to witness it making number 3. I'd hoped it would hit number 1 but Wet Wet Wet and Kylie had other idea.

Well there is actually a Spanish version of The Ketchup Song too, though obviously the Spanglish version was more popular in the UK.

 

Spanish version is actually quite a jam too *.*

Several of the songs on the first page have significant English parts (e.g. Begin The Beguine, Rock Me Amadeus, Chanson D'Amour, Danza Kuduro).

 

As for some of the missing languages:

 

Gasolina is Spanish (title = Petrol).

Sweet Lullaby is in Baegu.

No Tengo Dinero is mainly in English, with a few Spanish lyrics (title = I Have No Money).

Yeke Yeke is in Mandinka.

Dragostea Din Tei is in Romanian (title = Love From The Lindens).

Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli - Time to Say Goodbye (Con Te Patiro), #2 in 1997, hasn't been mentioned yet (unless you're not counting it because of the one line of English in it ;o)

Well The Ketchup Song and Macarena have to go too then.

 

Why is Rock Me Amadeus there? It was the English version that was the hit here

No one really calls it Gaelic here. It's called Irish.

There has to be a line to draw as partially English tracks are infiltrating the list of foreign hits now.

 

I've added all the suggestions from this thread so far to the best of my knowledge.

 

Considered putting a couple of Ricky Martin songs up but upon listening they are heavily English.

Is Maria not fully in Spanish actually? That was #6 (I think) in 1997.

The UK version was mostly English
