    i am just the same!... the annual Eurovision Song Contest is a great way to hear a wider variety of music from other cultures and languages

    i dont know what genre of music you like so a little difficult to recommmend... but type into google 'chinese pop [cantopop]' or 'serbian rock music' and you should get a good selection

    i like Sissel Kyrkjebo, a norwegian opera singer, Edith Piaf, Patricia Kaas (Les Hommes qui Passent), Nena (Neunundneunzig luftballons, Irgendwie Irgendwo Irgendwann), Dima Bilan, Carla Bruni (pour quelqu'un ma dit), Christine Guldbrandsen, Marija Serifovic (Molitva)...

    I highly suggest Japanese music. I'm giving you bands plus some songs maybe (these are mostly from animes):

    Flow (Sign, Re:member, Go!), Asian Kung-Fu Generation, Akeboshi (Wind), Aqua Timez (Velonica, Alones), Kanon Wakeshima (Kagami, Still Doll, and more), Utada Hikaru (Passion, Hikari), Do as Infinity (Fukai Mori), Halcali (Loong Kiss Goodbye), High and Mighty Color (Ichirin No Hana, Hot Limit, Pride), Homemade Kakozu (Thank You, Nagareboshi), June (Pride of Tomorrow), Nico Touches The Walls (Broken Youth), Nirgilis (Snow Kiss), On/Off (Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi, Rinne Rondo), Ore Ska Band (Tsumasaki), Seamo (My nswer), Scandal (Shojo S), Snorkel (Namikaze Satellite), Stance Punks (No Boy No Cry), SunSet Swish (My Pace), Younha (Houkiboshi), Yui (Life, Rolling Star), AND Yuki Kajura (Yasashii Yoake)

    Sory if they aren't top 40 or 100 or whatever, but this is some good music ranging from rock to pop.

    La Camisa Negra from Juanes is good too. I also like listening to different languages of Barbie Girl.
