No particular order:

1. Cowboy Bebop
2. Fate series
3. B: The Beginning
4. Ajin: Demi-Human
5. Stein's Gate
6. Durarara and DurararaX2
7. Baccano

That's more than five.

Boggiepop Phantom comes to mind, but I am not sure that is considered Shonen.

Shonen is supposed to appeal to boys under 18. I really don't know what Japanese boys under 18 go for. There are other series I can mention, but I would consider them more for adults.

-Fullmetal Alchemist
-My Hero Academia
-Yuyu Hakusho
-Mobile Suit Gundam Wing

--Fullmetal Alchemist
-My Hero Academia

While shonen means it appeals to teen boys, I would think My Hero Academia would appeal to both guys and gals. There are plenty of female characters, while just supporting, still stand out strong. I've only seen the episodes aired on Adult Swim, but I have a feeling as the series progresses we will see a lot more of the supporting characters, including female, who will develop their own following.

Fullmetal Alchemist is certainly shonen, but it has a lot of female followers. The potential romance between Ed and Winry brought them in -- and they were all left very angry when the two did not get together in the original series and the follow-up movie. I would comment on the remake, but the spoiler tag is not working.

If we're being strickly anime:

1. One Punch Man
2. Cowboy Bebop
3. Samurai Champloo
4. Gurren Lagann
5. One Piece

However the Deathnote manga is one of my favorites to date so that would beat One Piece.
