Just listening to Talking Heads live so the trio Born Under Punches/Crosseyed An Painless/Life During Wartime would certainly qualify.
And the grooviness of Earth, Wind & Fire: September/Fantasy/Boogie Wonderland.
The weirdness B52s: Dance This Mess Around/Lock Lobster/Private Idaho
Indeed the sunniness Beach Boys: Barbara Ann/I Get Around/Sloop John B
The weirdness of the Breeders: Cannonball/Hellbound
The groove of CCR: Up Around The Bend/I Put A Spell On You
Guided By Voices: Glad Girls/Teenage FBI/The Best Of Jill Hives
Madness: One Step Beyond/Nightboat To Cairo/Madness
Midnight Oil: Shakers & Movers/Forgotten Years
The Police: So Lonely/Message In A Bottle
R.E.M: Fall On Me/Shiny Happy People/Can't Get There From Here
Siouxsie and The Banshees: Hon Kong Garden/Spellbound/Love In A Void
etc

Definitely not one of the three biggest singles. "Don't Stop" was close to being played out for me before Clinton made it his campaign theme music and that just totally killed it for me (because of repetition, not politics). I included "Gold Dust Woman" haunts me more than just about any other pop song. "The Chain" is my second favorite Fleetwood Mac song, which shows how overexposure has influenced my favorites. I guess the most popular ones just got too played out for me (I grew up in the late 70s/early 80s).

Its no coincidence that every song mentioned so far was made in the 60s or 70s. Even the pop music of those decades is better than the rock music of today. Or any other kind of music for that matter.

Certainly can't top the catchiness of many mentioned so far.

I'll just add

Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves
Lido Shuffle by Boz Scaggs
Rubberband Man by The Spinners
Walking on Broken Glass by Annie Lennox
You Can't Hurry Love by The Supremes
Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest

and the dreaded Copa Cabana by Barry Manilow!

I agree with Daydreamer. This is about the only song of Rumours that I could not immediately hum. Why not Dreams?
And I would think Waterloo catchier than S.O.S.

Catchiest song?

Beach Boys – Barbara Ann

maybe?

I'm fascinated by some catchy pop, but poppy music in general isn't my area of expertise, so looking forward to seeing what other people post. Here are some I like:

Bang a Gong (Get It On) - T-Rex
Hey Jude - The Beatles
Where Did Our Love Go - The Supremes
Lola - The Kinks (when I was a teen, I was mildly put off by the subject matter, but damn, great melody)
Gold Dust Woman - Fleetwood Mac
Shining Star - Earth, Wind & Fire
Black Water - The Doobie Brothers
Dancing Machine - The Jackson 5
Fox On the Run - Sweet
More Than a Feeling - Boston
S.O.S. - ABBA
Kiss From a Rose - Seal

I absolutely love Rumours but I don't thinkg that song is among the top 3 catchies from that album.
