Cant be many.
Must have been in the top 40, and sung 90pc in a foreign language.
And must be the version which was a hit i.e 99 red balloons doesnt count.

If I was being pedantic Egner, Tres Tres Chic only includes 7 words, 2 of which are English so it fails the 90pc test.

Los Lobos 'La Bamba' was a foreign one wasn't it?   I certainly couldn't make head nor tail of the words.

What was that Julio Iglesias record? Begin the Begouine or something???

And must be the version which was a hit i.e 99 red balloons doesn't count.

OK perhaps not in the UK but of note though the German version of 99 Red Ballons was a hit Stateside and Australia I believe???

Some dodgy answers here.

Gangnam Style has "hey sexy lady" repeated.
