OK we all know that English songs rule the world (God save the Queen). I’m half English and I’m happy about this also because English is a lovely language. In Italy we get:
All English songs
All Italian songs (of course)
A little French now and then
Many Spanish (mostly dance)
I listen to a lot of Swedish and Norwegian songs and recently to Russian too (Taty). Also some Danish. Wouldn’t it be great if we could choose among them all?
For instance I don’t like Tatu’s song...
“They’re Not Gonna Get Us” a lot but I adore the original “Nas Nie Dogoniat”...

loads and loads of English songs, quite a lot Bulgarian (with few good :-/ ) and few French, German, Russian, rarely in any other language. Las Ketchup is the last wave.... bleeh....

Goran Bregovic isn’t Bulgarian. Serbian , I think, but I’m not too sure.

nope, Goran isn’t Bulgarian; he is Croatian to my knowledge, but the choirs on his last tour come from Bulgaria :)

Usually, the Latino music is what is the next biggest when it comes to music in a foreign language. At least in Utah.
