Yeah, yeah; undoubtedly done before, but a complementary counterpart
to "Ghastly Songs".

I'll start:  I have a weakness for "Unbreak my heart", even if (or
maybe because...) it's a song-writer's literary conceit.  Works for
me.

I like some of the Monkees' stuff.  They actually had some pretty good
pop.

Off the top of my head:

Dizzy by Tommy Roe
Waterloo by Abba
The Show Must Go On by Three Dog Night
Little Willy by the Sweet
Paloma Blanca by the George Baker Selection
Beyond The Blue Horizon by Lou Christie

Note that I don't actually feel guilty about liking any of these,
being quite shameless in my musical tastes.

"I Love You Always Forever" by Donna Lewis--another record for 14-year-olds,
but on a slightly higher plane.

"Lizzie and the Rainman" by Tanya Tucker--another record for 14-year-olds,
but on a slightly countrified plane.

"Waiting for a Star to Fall" by Boy Meets Girl--a pluperfect piece of ear
candy. Arif Mardin: best producer who never became a household word.

I've never seen that used in other than the grammatical sense. TY

Couple of these fell into others' Ghastly category

"Brand New Key"/Melanie Safka  I played this so often back in '71 or
so that my roommate threatened to break it over my head.

"Total Eclipse of the Heart"/???  This is one of the few songs the
video of which I enjoyed.

"Windy"/Beach Boys.  This is the song I associate with the last days
of high school and graduation.

"Honey"/??? yes, the one with the tree
"Love is Blue"/Paul Mauriat
"Eleanor Rigby"/Beatles
"Dock of the Bay"/Otis Redding
and a whole lot more from that specific month of 1968.  This was the
first time I got to travel out of state without a parent.  These songs
played on the radio and were heard so many times on the trip that
every one reminds me of that time.
