They performed it many times but it was released in Sweden in January 1979.
Abba sang it first in English, then spanish. Menudo sang it after them in spanish.
ABBA donated one half of the proceeds to Chiquitita to charity, which was one of the group's biggest hits.
Knowing Me, Knowing You (There's also video of the band performing, oddly, Chiquitita in the snow. But it wasn't officially an ABBA video; it's actually a clip from a Swiss TV show.)
My house! YOU DUN KNOW!
"Chiquitita" was first released as a single in the UK and Europe in January 1979. Abba had performed the song on January 9 at "Music for Unicef" benefit concert for world hunger in New York. "Chiquitita" was one of Abba's biggest hits around the world, partly on the strength of the Spanish version: it reached number 1 in Argentina, Spain, Mexico, Latin America and elsewhere. Inexplicably, Atlantic Records did not release the single in North America until November, ten months after the Unicef concert and album, and it reached only #29 in the US and #17 in Canada. Unicef still gets 50 per cent of the royalties from the song, reportedly almost $3 million.

In the decade that ABBA was a group they performed all over the world. But their home was Sweden.
Chiquitita - album - was created in 1979.
Dancing Queen is considered by most to be ABBA's signature song and certainly one of the most popular of all their hits. Others would be Mamma Mia, Thank You For The Music, Fernando, Chiquitita and SOS. Of course there are many more but these are among the best known.
Abba: The Movie was released in December of 1977.
