It's rare but occasionally an English-language song will feature foreign words in its lyrics. Even rarer is when one of these hits #1 in the Top 40 charts. To make our list, the song must include an entire chorus or two verses in another language, not just one or two words (No Livin la Vida Loca, and we need more than C'est la vie or Te Amo), and had to have reached the Billboard Top 100 or be from a Top-10 band.
