The best bet is to do it by the book. ATC does not expect you to land without a clearance. If you're number 1 for the runway and the tower is too busy to clear you to land, then how do you know it's safe? It's definitely not legal. Even in the lost comm case, you're expected to land by a green light gun signal. Definitely don't jeopardize your ticket just to 'help with the flow'. Go around and try again.
