Is there like a list of the top 20 otaku songs or something? Like how there are top charts for pop music. I'm curious as to what the most popular/listened to songs are for Japanese otaku and if it's all just denpa and vocaloid.
No.

try the Oricon chart site itself is the only solution that I can come up with.
Nicovideo medleys and kumikyoku provide a view into what of what arbitrary people have figured are well-known songs, though they have a recency bias. You could also just search for 音楽 and search by views but that'll be biased even more in favor of memetic smash hits. I'll shill ニコニコ動画摩天楼 again just because I already have an image for it.

Someone will probably come along shortly and say that nicovideo is awful niwaka garbage not representative of anything, but I'm sure he can give you a better answer when he does.
