There are also frequency lists for American English (based on COCA -- a balanced corpus of nearly 400 million words), TIME Magazine (100m words, 1920s-2000s), Spanish (20m words, 1900s) and Portuguese (20m words, 1900s). Also available are n-grams for all of these languages (as well as for the BNC). See:

Also, later this year there will be a printed frequency dictionary from Routledge. It will include the top 5,000 lemmas in American English (from COCA), as well as the top 20-30 collocates of each of these lemma (grouped by PoS and function: subj/obj etc), as well as indications of genre-based variation, etc.
