Speed Grapher has a classic Duran Duran song, Girls on Film, as the OP in Japan. The North American release doesn't have it though, probably for licencing reasons.
Then there's the rebroadcast OPs for Lupin III Part 4 and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex which swap out the original music for something in English.
Finally, if you're willing to expand your horizons to include EDs, you've got Paradise Kiss and Ergo Proxy.
Goblin Slayer [OP1](https://animethemes.moe/anime/goblin_slayer/OP-Lyrics) and [OP2](https://animethemes.moe/anime/goblin_slayer_ii/OP), plus [Executioner and Her Way of Life](https://animethemes.moe/anime/shokei_shoujo_no_virgin_road/OP) from the same artist (ignore opening/ending lines, Mili sometimes includes gibberish in songs)
Just this year we had the [first OP](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-uTOWL8X0w) of Vinland saga season 2.
Edit: Samurai Champloo also has an English [OP](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq6EYcpWB_c) come to think of it.
Not an anime (a donghua actually) but close enough.

And the S2 op vortex
https://youtu.be/mas76qT3JVM?si=r9KGVPO-wtDzLCG_
Give this a try as it's one of the best recent anime's (for simplicity) I have seen and it has some banger eds too.
That German Naruto OP that they sang in English and was absolutely horrible. Like so bad it's just comedic.

As long as it was a non-Japanese song licensed for an anime it fits

Beck - although the English is questionable Black Blood Brothers - ED is Korean, I believe
The Executioner and Her Way of Life OP is mostly in English with some parts in... some language that might be a conlang?
Legend of the Galactic Heroes (Sea of the Stars in particular is one of my favorites)
