I think it was Ring Ring in 1972.
The first ABBA single to reach number 1 anywhere in the world was "He Is Your Brother", their second single, released on Nov. 1, 1972. It hit #1 on the Swedish radio chart, Tio i topp. The first ABBA chart-topper outside Sweden was "Ring Ring", which reached #1 in Belgium in 1973. Their first #1 in a predominantly English-speaking country (U.K., Ireland) was Waterloo in 1974. The first ABBA #1 in Australia was "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" (1975). In the U.S., ABBA's first #1 was "Fernando" (1976, on the Adult Contemporary chart; their first and only #1 on the American pop/rock chart was "Dancing Queen", later in 1976).

In 1980, ABBA's 'The Winner Takes it All' was #1 in the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands. Later, 'Super Trouper' was #1 in the above, plus Germany.
ABBA has had a lot of hit songs, but their most known is Dancing Queen.
The song, 'Waterloo' by ABBA, representing Sweden, won Eurovision in 1974. The contest was held in Brighton, UK, that year although the UK awarded no points to ABBA's entry!Waterloo - ABBAsweden

Depends what you consider to be a hit. ABBA's first chart single in the UK was Waterloo, which peaked at #1 in 1974. Their next release was "Ring Ring", which was actually a remix of a 1973 single. The 1974 version reached #32 in the UK. Their next single, "So Long" only reached #91. But in 1975, "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" cracked the top 40, peaking at #38. Their next top 10 was "S.O.S.", which reached #6. ABBA's next single was their second #1 hit in the UK, "Mamma Mia".

If you're thinking of Abba, as a single it reached No 2 in South Africa and No 33 in UK. But as a track on ABBAs Greatest Hits and ABBA The Movie it hit No 1 all over the world.

One favorite hit is SOS. The lead voice for this ABBA hit belongs to Agnetha.
