top hits on parade

I think you can use it.
Do a search in Google with "on parade", "hits on parade" and "top hits on parade" to see how it is used. There are lot of hits (hits on parade - ha-ha) in Google, so I don't think I need to specify references.

neutral Evan GEISINGER : Yes, but the PROBLEM is that the katakana is a noun, and the English "on parade" is a modifier (adverbial/adjectival)... so an answer needs to include the whole translation.... maybe "The reunion concert was a veritable parade of their biggest hits."

yes

オンパレードmeans medley. So using it in that phrase does fit in the context.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Evan GEISINGER : I don't think it means medley (which, as far as I know, always means PARTS of multiple songs, sewn together as one number, with NO SONG IN ITS ENTIRETY therein.
