I searched the Internet for lists of the best or most popular Beatles songs of all time. Criteria included the songs being ranked, not just listed, and generally created by groups, whether teams or committees or based on general public voting (like Ranker.com).

I was able to find 29 lists. I took the 29 lists and added all their content into a spreadsheet, noting the rank of every song. I experimented with different formulas, trying to balance the value of being ranked high on any list and being included on the most lists. I ended up averaging the rankings each song got and dividing that average by a factor of the number of lists that song was on. The lowest score meant a high ranking average on many lists. The complete spreadsheet is attached at the bottom.

Here are links to the lists I used along with dates the lists were created:
