Not quite. The South African Anthem is actually a mix of two tunes, Nkosi Sikeli iAfrica & Die stem van Afrika, whereas the others are Nkosi Sikeli iAfrica only.

 

Anyway, my top 3 are

 

1) 

2) 

3)  (ahem, which was also the old Austro-Hungarian anthem, with different words.)

[AgainstAllOdds 0]

But I could add quite a few more.
