The “entirely” part makes this pretty hard. Like, there’s a bunch of Korean artists charting, like BTS or Psy, but all of them have English portions or at least one English word somewhere. Californian band The Sandpipers made a very popular cover of Cuban standard Guantanamera in the sixties… but they had to add a spoken word section in English.

Gotta be honest, I think that this is it.
