        Above is a short list of 15 top megahits of all time.  Admittedly, they are my favorites, but surely anyone over 50 would have to admit that they are all giant hits from various times in American pop music history.  There are others to be added, and I'm here inviting you to make recommendations to expand this list to perhaps 25 or 30.  What do you think?
