	data.limit = options.limit || 8;
	var recent_by = options.recent_by || 'view';
	var recent = new GlideRecord('sp_log');
	if (recent_by === 'view')
		recent.addEncodedQuery('userDYNAMIC90d1921e5f510100a9ad2572f2b477fe^type=Cat Item View^sys_created_onONThis quarter@javascript:gs.beginningOfThisQuarter()@javascript:gs.endOfThisQuarter()');

	data.showPrices = $sp.showCatalogPrices();

	while (recent.next() && recentItems.length < data.limit) {
		if (isAlreadyAdded(recent.getValue('id')))
			continue;
		var catalogItemJS = new sn_sc.CatItem(recent.getValue('id'));
		if (!catalogItemJS.canView(gs.isMobile()) || !catalogItemJS.isVisibleServicePortal())
			continue;
		var item = {};
		var catItemDetails = catalogItemJS.getItemSummary(true);
		if(!catItemDetails.visible_standalone)
			continue;
		var inCatalog = false;
		for (var i=0; i<catItemDetails.catalogs.length; i++) {
			if (catalogArr.indexOf(catItemDetails.catalogs[i].sys_id + "") >= 0) {
				inCatalog = true;
				break;
			}
		}
		if (inCatalog) {

Popular is what is chosen the most and most recent is what has been chosen most recently. You can't make them static, that's the entire point of those. Why show static content? Just put your catalog there, without popular/recent and maybe just crate a category every one starts from and add the once you want to highlight there.

Thanks for replying mark but this is a business requirement

Business can tell you what they want, not how you deliver. If they want static content, just fill the first category the portal opens to with those items. That's what they want, right?
