<script type="text/javascript">
function pipeCallback(obj) {
document.write('<ol style="text-transform: capitalize;">');
var i;
for (i = 0; i < obj.count ; i++)
{
var href = "'" + obj.value.items[i].link + "'";
var item = "<li>" + "<a href=" + href + ">" + obj.value.items[i].title + "</a> </li>";
document.write(item);
}
document.write('</ol>');
}

<a href="http://1widget.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Popular Posts Widget</span></a>

And in case, you want to display the popular posts without the number of comments, use this code:

document.write('<ol style="text-transform: capitalize;">');
var i;
for (i = 0; i < obj.count ; i++)

var item = "<li>" + "<a href=" + href + ">" + obj.value.items[i].title + "</a> </li>";
document.write(item);
