When I re-read what I wrote - I realized I left out one important thing. It also has to be GOOD, as well as being catchy.
(I didn't want to give the impression that just because you can sing along with it, I'd consider MMM-bop as a song that should be on anyone's playlist, at any time, in any decade, in any alternate universe.
The 90s equivalent would be that "Hey, Jealousy" or "No Rain" were good songs that were also entertaining mass music.)
