"Tones of home" has been in my head so many times. And the past few days, "Jesus Christ pose" by Soundgarden. I haven't heard of some of those other artists so I'll have to check them out.
Hell yeah! I actually think the Classic Masters album is one of the best greatest hits records ever. Every freaking track on it is a banger. Galaxie I think is track #2 after tones of home, if memory serves.
I'm goin', yes I'm goin' (I'm a-goin' to the)
Goin' to the (hard!)
We're goin' (really goin' to the)
Goin' to the, goin' to the (hard!)

HARDWARE STORE...
Back in the day I memorized the lyrics and tried to sing along to the hardware story inventory selection part. Since no human have lungs big enough, a friend and I learned to alternate back and forth so we could cover the entire thing.
They've got allen wrenches, gerbil feeders, toilet seats, electric heaters,
Trash compactors, juice extractors, shower rods and water meters,
Walkie-talkies, copper wires, safety goggles, radial tires,
BB pellets, rubber mallets, fans and dehumidifiers,
Picture hangers, paper cutters, waffle irons, window shutters,
Paint removers, window louvers, masking tape and plastic gutters,
Kitchen faucets, folding tables, weather stripping, jumper cables,
Hooks and tackle, grout and spackle, power foggers, spoons and ladles,
Pesticides for fumigation, high-performance lubrication,
Metal roofing, waterproofing, multi-purpose insulation,
Air compressors, brass connectors, wrecking chisels, smoke detectors,
Tire gauges, hamster cages, thermostats and bug deflectors,
Trailer hitch demagnetizers, automatic circumcisers,
Tennis rackets, angle brackets, Duracells and Energizers,
Soffit panels, circuit breakers, vacuum cleaners, coffee makers,
Calculators, generators, matching salt and pepper shakers,
Because, tangent time, you're using the phrase "rent free in your head" wrong. All of you! It's not just for ideas or memes or songs that stay with you, it's for ones that you're stuck with that don't benefit you at all.
Recently it's been "It's Easy M'Kay" from the South Park movie. Been listening to the songs from that film a lot and for some reason that's the one my brain wants to keep playing over and over.
Lou Reed - Perfect Day has been a big one for the past few years. Or if something randomly reminds me of any given song I know at all, it can be that one for days. Gets maddening sometimes!
Multiple. But a very penetrant one is the Miss Marple theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9ILsxqdK7E I keep remembering the melody and playing it in my head without noticing that it's this.
I always have a song stuck in my head, often for days at a time (right now it’s Zorbing by Stornaway), but there are a handful that come back over and over for years.
The two that come to mind most often are Don’t Go Breaking My Heart by Elton John/Kiki Dee and, weirdly, Babaji by Supertramp.

In the last 18 hours, but mostly repeats of every single day of my life:
Everybody has AIDS - Team America
The last half of the Three's Company theme song
Three Small Words - Josie and the Pussycats
SOB - Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats
ABBA - Gimme Gimme Gimme
Edit: Anytime anything good happens, or I pass a car, the little diddy after you hit a goal in Super Mario World.

There are certainly more, but owing to the fact I have to actively work to evict them, I hesitate to put more thought to it.

Did you mean: Which songs live rent free in your head?
Or were you looking for the top of the list because that's incredibly hard to judge. There are so many in here. So. Many.
Simple words and phrases, sometimes entirely unrelated but with similar rhythmic pattern can bring forth any number of songs.
I might be a little AuDHD. Just a smidge.

This band is so good. It blows my mind more people aren't singing their praises. Criminally underrated.
