Which song did "ABC" replace at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100?
There's something irresistible about five brothers teaching America that love is as easy as 1-2-3. "ABC" featured 11-year-old Michael Jackson on lead vocals, and the song shot straight to No. 1 in the spring of 1970. What song did it knock off the top of the Billboard Hot 100?

Correct Answer: Let It Be
(Source)Five is better than four, that's just basic math. "Let It Be" hit #1 the day after Paul McCartney announced the Beatles were breaking up, but not even a farewell could keep them at the top for long. Two weeks later, an 11-year-old from Gary, Indiana knocked the most legendary band in history off the charts. The Jackson 5 became the first (and still only) group to have their first four singles all reach #1. The Fab Four were done, and the kids from Motown were just getting started.
