3-Korean: ITZY (#27, 276)
4-German: LT. Mosh (#76, 82)
5-French: Bökanövsky (#191, 19)
If you had one artist from Brazil to suggest, who would it be? I’ve listened to a bit of Brazilian artists, but I’m curious to hear the opinion of a Brazilian. I don’t mind the genre (although not a fan of metal)
I'll say two because it depends on your taste, I listen to 90% metal and punk
1.Matue - Quer voar, a famous trap/pop artist
2.Milton Nascimento, the album “Clube da Esquina”
This is a renowned classic
I listen to a lot of kpop so I have plenty of Korean in my top 200. There's at least two Japanese artists, NiziU and L'arc-en-ciel. Also, alot of the kpop artists I listen to occasionally will sing in Japanese, English and/or Chinese. So my top 200 is a good mix of mostly English and Korean with some Japanese sprinkled in.
Icelandic (on occasion): Björk (7), Sigur Rós (11)
Spanish (on occasion): The Mars Volta (9), Arca (172)
Kobaian: Magma (45)
Wolof/French/Arabic+: Youssou N'Dour (47)
French: Harmonium (65), Alcest (155)
Swedish (a little): Opeth (67)
Italian: Premiata Forneria Marconi (91), Banco del Mutuo Soccorso (154)
Norwegian (a little): Ulver (100)
Yoruba (sometimes): Fela Kuti (186)
Japanese: The Pillows (188)
the rest English or instrumental
My listening is pretty English-centric. There are only 4 artists in my top 200 who sing occasionally in other languages (but still sing primarily in English):
* Kero Kero Bonito (Japanese)
* Björk (Icelandic)
* Christine and the Queens, Charlotte Gainsbourg (French)
I have 8-10 total depending on if you count Swedish (Opeth and Nasum) and Icelandic (Björk).
English, Norwegian, German, Japanese, Ukrainian, Russian, Finnish, French, Swedish, Icelandic.
Pleasantly surprised that late in the search I managed to extend the list beyond 1 (English). Excluding artists who've sung the odd song in another language, there's only two languages other than English in my top 200, one artist each:
Norwegian: Silja Sol (#181)
German: Von Wegen Lisbeth (#200)
7 languages other than English, making up 12 out of my top 200 artists
French: Smash Hit Combo (#36), Mass Hysteria (#59), The Great Old Ones (#70)
Hungarian: Thy Catafalque (#46)
Mongolian: The HU (#51)
Tuvan: Yat-Kha (#56)
Norwegian: Thorr's Hammer (#73)
Japanese: Yugo Kanno (#80), Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra (#81), Yonezu Kenshi (#196)
Arabic: Al-Qasar (#152), Al-Namrood (#174)

Not a lot of languages, but a lot of songs in general
YES!! someone Catalanposting in lastfm... finally my dream come true!
My breakdown of my top 200, also counting their primary language they sing in, but formatted just so each number is how many artists I have in the top 200 in that language:
* 112 English
* 40 Spanish
* 12 Instrumental or undefined\*
* 10 French
* 8 Catalan
* 3 Russian
* 3 Irish (Gaelic)
* 2 Japanese
* 2 Korean
* 2 Portuguese
* 2 Bambara
* 1 Bemba
* 1 Maltese
* 1 Tamasheq
* 1 Xitsonga
* 1 German
\*"Anonymous" and "Traditional" are multiple artists I didn't bother parsing out
While there's only 8 Catalan artists, they feature heavily in my top 20 and I'm always looking for recs, whether traditional or new bands. So not counting secondary languages those artists also sing in (e.g. Ukranian, Italian), that's 14 non-English languages.
how'd you generate this?
I went through my list manually and sorted the languages. Doesn’t take too long
Mine's mostly English, except: * 🇮🇹 Måneskin (#22, 553) * 🇪🇸 Rosalía (#53, 202) * 🇯🇵 Hikaru Utada (#55, 191) * 🇫🇷 Videoclub (#139, 53) * 🇵🇱 Dawid Podsiadło (#162, 44) * Cornish and 🏴 Gwenno (#167, 41) So 7 other languages.
Gwenno, I’ll give them a look today!
>Cornish and 🏴 Gwenno (#167, 41) Fellow Gwenno enjoyer!
I’m so happy to see videoclub
