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.

Funnily enough Muntzy, it was hearing Dominique on the radio the other day which led to this thread.

Ill add the obvious "Je'taime"

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

"Je t'aime" by Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg, the most (in)famous one of all. Top Ten in 1969.

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???
