Imo Greensoeeves mostly endured because it can be perfectly whistled by everyone and still be played by professional musicians in a way that awes the audience.
This will probably not be th reason why current songs will stay arround. If society doesn't break down, I assume that every popular melody, be it from the US, China or Lebanon, will stay around and get reused every ~30 years to grab some quick money.

Darude - Sandstorm
I always forget there was a real historical figure and assume Greensleeves is Gull's little sister from those old Magic books.
Not sure how well they hold up, but like 25 years ago Arena and the Greensleeves trilogy seemed like the best books ever.
I don't know what it is but I hear it at sports stadiums. Duh duh duh duh- duh duh duh-duh It repeats
Edit: I've just found out it's called papas got a brand new pigbag.
I know it's not the song that you're saying but I read that in Suzanne Vega - Tom's diner tone

In the U.S., “Neck” by Cameo has become a college marching band standard. I wonder if that will help. Not that it would come from U.S. college sports but maybe a song like “Sweet Caroline” or “Seven Nation Army” that’s played at professional sporting events in multiple countries.
Yesterday
Probably a Jazz song since the musicians often cover the same Songs over and over again and thats how they could stay very long? Dont know which one though. A Train? Misty?
‘You are my Sunshine’
It's not new, but this tune will keep being reused for a billion years. It's got religious adaptations, too, providing incredible staying power. It will probably be used for many more years, as it's one of those "golden" tunes that people will never quite forget.

If you went to Mass, you have probably heard it. Here's a modern, secular cover of it:
Amen Brother by The Winstons, more specifically the drum break on it. It's by far the most used sample of any song ever, and once you know of it you'll hear it everywhere kind of like the Wilhelm Scream in movies.

Something from Michael Jackson maybe. I heard you can go somewhere where there is no civilization and they'll still know him.
