The only ones I can recall in the LOTR movies are the wordless chorus in Lothlorien after Gandalf passed and when Pippin sings for Denethor while he abuses a tomato.
In addition to what’s been mentioned below, in Fellowship Bilbo sings the first verse of The Road Goes Ever On and On as he departs the Shire for Rivendell, and in the extended edition Sam and Frodo encounter a party of elves on their way to the Grey Havens who are singing A Elbereth Gilthoniel as they travel.
There’s more of it in the books, be peeps definitely be singing in the movies.
Tom Bombadil sang a lot, but he’s not in the movie which really drops the amount of singing.
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Perhaps omitting him from the movie was the right choice after all…

What about Gandalf’s mumble rap?
Howard Shore goes to the trouble of incorporating Sindarin and Quenya lyrics into the soundtrack and you call it a “wordless chorus”?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
