How to approach it
The productive route is to sweep decade by decade rather than free-associate, because sixty-odd years of chart history are unevenly stocked in memory. Begin with the eras whose hits get heavy recurrent airplay, write down four or five titles for each, then push into corners most players skip: novelty records, soundtrack themes, disco one-offs, country crossovers and foreign-language smashes. Rarity pays, so a title that feels faintly embarrassing or half-forgotten usually outscores an obvious classic. Verify each candidate against the chart's actual rules, because a song that only led a separate sales or airplay tally does not count. Keep a running list and send the strangest qualifying title first.
Get a hint
Cast your net across the entire post-war era of chart history instead of the handful of decades you know by heart, because every period of the survey contributes qualifying titles.
A little more
Then lean on the styles that fill year-end retrospectives: dance fads, film themes, country crossovers and grand ballads, all of which produced chart-toppers with surprising regularity.
One step further
Finally check the fussy clerical details, since duet credits, medleys, remixed versions and titles wrapped in brackets routinely reached the summit and slip past anyone listing in a hurry.

Why these answers count
Scoring here tracks obscurity rather than fame, and the reveal makes that plain. Sing-along staples everyone knows sit at the floor of sixty points, while titles most players could not hum climb to eighty-five: Sukiyaki took the full hundred, and a long parenthetical such as (Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song banked eighty-five simply because hardly anyone retrieves it in time. Two instincts get rewarded. One is digging into the late fifties and early sixties, where titles are short, odd and half-forgotten. The other is trusting memory for awkward full names with brackets, subtitles or remix tags, since those are the entries a hurried player skips. Expect the middle band to be crowded, because four hundred and ninety-seven answers landed on eighty-five and five hundred and ten on sixty, so reaching the top means picking the third or fourth title that comes to mind instead of the first. Anything genuinely ubiquitous scores, but it scores least.
