I've managed to edit my Top Hits playlist to such a degree that it is useless and I can't get it to return any usable data.  I could swear I'd read a thread in the past discussing how to restore the standard playlists, but I can't find it.  Can anyone tell me how to restore Top Hits?

the default "top hits" playlist goes like so: [Number Plays]=>0 ~seq ~sort=[seq]-d ~n=100

click the edit button, click the import button, paste that in, replacing what's there already and OK your way back out.
Experiment using a new smart list, and when you're happy, place your new search string into top hits to save it there.

How very interesting...  that playlist missed all kinds of popular songs, seemingly ignoring the top third of my most-played songs in my collection.  Perhaps I misunderstood what Top Hits was supposed to return.

Either way, I ended up with the results I was seeking with [Number Plays]=>5 ~seq ~n=100

I've never really understood what ~seq is supposed to do when used like this. Back in the day, the playlist used to look like:

~seq=[number plays] ~sort=[seq]-d

Anyhow, the "Top Hits" list takes your library and lists all files by number of plays, from highest to lowest, then limits the list to 100 files, so in theory, you get the 100 most played files.

try this instead: [Media Type]="audio" [Number Plays]=>0 ~sort=[number plays]-d ~n=100
That should give much more favourable results. If it's catching things you don't want, just add some exclusions before the "~n=100" rule to weed them out.
