Legendary non-English language songs?

I know of many enduringly famous popular songs with lyrics sung in English. But what about other languages?

What is the local-language equivalent to The Beatles in the Arab world, the French speaking countries, or other places that have a band as highly regarded as the Beatles?

As another example, do some parts of the world have their own R&B songs that are as highly regarded as the best English language ones? I'm interested in knowing the names of some songs like that.

Is there a band like Led Zeppelin that sings in a different language?

Or like The Cure, The Smiths, or Morrissey?

Thanks in advance for any leads you can provide!
