Based on numbers, it looks like Chinese would be number 1 with more speakers than English. How are you deciding the order? I live in Panama and speak Spanish and English, so it looks like I can talk to a billion and a half people. ;) Interesting list!

This is list not based on number of speakers but which language has importance in business, educational and other purpose @apanamamama
