Among the many songs of ABBA a few of their top sellers were: Dancing Queen, SOS, Waterloo and Mamma Mia.
There are many ways to answer this question. On the US charts they had only one #1 hit, Fernando. On the worldwide market though they had 21 #1 hits. Their worldwide top hits included, Dancing Queen, Fernando, The Winner Takes It All, Mama Mia, Does Your Mother Know, Waterloo.
Name them 27 from 1971-1996.
It depends on your definition of 'hit'. Their songs placed differently on the charts depending on the country.

It depends on what country you are talking about. They had, I think, 13 number one hits in the UK, but only 1 in America. Australia was absolutely ABBA crazy, maybe even surpassing their native Sweden. So every country had a different reaction to the ABBA craze.
Germany was very fertile ground for Abba: they scored nine #1 singles there in a seven year period. Waterloo (1974) S.O.S. (1975) Mamma Mia (1975) Dancing Queen (1976) Money, Money, Money (1976) Fernando (1976) Knowing Me, Knowing You (1977) Super Trouper (1980) One of Us (1981) Overall, Abba had a total of 22 top ten hits in Germany between Waterloo in 1974 and 1983 (Under Attack-#6).
Pop, dance, top 40.
ABBA scored only one number one hit in North America, that being Dancing Queen that went to the top of the American charts. ABBA had no number one's in Canada.

I believe it was Super Trouper in 1980. But ABBA Gold has been on the top of the charts as a re-release and it continues to outsell world-wide.
