I believe that'd be The Beatles' "Let It Be" which came in at #6.
=========================
But it already had heavy airplay that would have given it good chart action. Although Billboard used both sales and airplay info, a song wasn't eligible to chart unless it was available as a commercial single. When the single was released it was immediatly eligible and as a result, instant chart prominance.
