Being Italian, I have some Italian albums on My Chart ... but there aren't many Italian users here: Italy's highest album on the overall Chart is #2210 (Fabrizio de André's "La Buona Novella") ...

They have added many French and Polish albums before now. Quite a few Belgium ones as well.

Nobody has mentioned Sigur Rós. They mostly sing in Icelandic, and when they don't, they sing in their own invented language called Hopelandic (Vonlenska)!
They are doing quite well here: Ágætis byrjun is at 83rd and (), which is completely sung in Hopelandic, is at 259th.

I said "not much", not zero.

Just realized you have () at no. 6! No wonder if you did remember them.

Something I've noticed the few times I've tried to have a discussion with you is that you always very quickly leave the actual topic of discussion and go into semantics or technicalities.
You said people don't really want to put compilations on their charts and I provided an example of an extremely popular greatest hits album by an artist who just like Amalia Rodrigues could be considered "world".
True, he is english-speaking, but then we have the Sigur Ros- example mentioned here which disproves the theory that it would be impossible to become a top ranked artist if you don't sing in english.
So why is it then that Amalia Rodrigues is completely unknown to pretty much everyone (notice I said "pretty much everybody", not everybody) here?
My own theory is that if a music artist doesn't feature in either RS 500, Pitchfork or Scaruffi's site, it's like they don't exist, not only to the general english-speaking public, but to almost all the self-proclaimed music-experts on this site.
Btw, I do not claim to be an expert on fado in any way.
