'Fake Love' by K-Pop boy band BTS hit the Top 10 in America this week, which marked the seventeenth non-English language song to make the American top ten.
Billboard did a deep dive and compiled all 17 songs, which we have completely pilfered and posted below.
They go into way more depth, with chart positions and languages and all that, so do check out their feature – but due to space restrictions, we have simply listed the songs, in chronological order underneath this excellent, spooky song.
It is worth noting that five of the seventeen happened since October 2012, which marks a nice shift towards globalisation in the U.S. music market. Worth doing the Macarena over, I reckon.
