...Honestly, it might be The Loco-Motion just because of how many times it's been a hit due to covers and for enduring popularity as a dance song.

probably some shitty Christmas song that gets played up and down on the radio in every country everywhere at that time of the year.

Jingle Bells or All I want for Christmas is you.

Either Hallelujah or White Christmas, at least in North America. Worldwide its probably some BTS song or something. Maybe Despacito or Gangnum Style.

It's really hard to say.

Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You

Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On

PSY - Gangnam Style

The reason I'd stick with more "English Speaking" songs is because we're far less likely to listen to foreign language music,awhile they are not as closed off to English music in the rest of the world comparatively. Now J-Pop and K-Pop have grown more acceptance in the West, but individual songs typically haven't reached saturation as older songs. On the one hand, I feel like it was impossible to get away from Gangnam Style a few years back. On the other hand, it didn't have the staying power of Whitney/Celine, nor did it have a movie to tie into.

I think ultimately, without having lived outside of the country, I would never be able to gleam what is popular in other countries OFFLINE.
