$products = Mage::getResourceModel('reports/product_collection')
        ->addAttributeToSelect('*')     
        ->setStoreId($storeId)
        ->addStoreFilter($storeId)
        ->addViewsCount()
        ->addCategoryFilter($cat)
        ->setPageSize($productCount);

but its return some times this error

 Fatal error: Call to a member function getId() on a non-object in /var/www/html/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Resource/Product/Collection.php on line 719

Because 1 product can stored in multi categories, so when call

$categoryIds = $_product->getCategoryIds();

it will a array.

foreach($categoryIds as $id) {
  $cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($id);
}

How to Get Top Parent Category from Current Category Object in Magento 1

$category->getPath() will return the ids of all categories from the tree root to the current one separated by slash (/). Here is an example: 1/2/56/124/543. The first one is the 'root of roots'. The second one is the catalog root (default category). The rest of them are simple categories. So you can do something like this.

$path = $category->getPath();
$ids = explode('/', $path);
if (isset($ids[2])){
    $topParent = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())->load($ids[2]);
}
else{
    $topParent = null;//it means you are in one catalog root.
}

Now you can get the name and url like this:

if ($topParent){
    $name = $topParent->getName();
    $url = $topParent->getUrl();
}

Magento 1.9 – Get All Parent Categories of Current Category

let's say that $category is your current category.
You can call $category->getParentCategories() and you will get an instance of Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Category_Collection.
You can loop through it and get each category in the tree branch.
You should be able to call ->getLevel() on each of these categories to see how high or low they are in the tree.

[EDIT]
You can do this to loop through all the parent categories

foreach ($category->getParentCategories() as $parent) {
    //do something with $parent.
    if ($parent->getLevel() == 2) {
        //then $parent is a top level category
    }
}
