Karen Carpenter often said, and there is written evidence to support this, that her favorite Carpenters' song was: "I Need To Be In Love". It was written and recorded in 1976, it was one of the songs on the "A Kind Of Hush" album, and there is a music video that uses it that shows Karen and Richard taking a plane and looking for love, but, not finding it.
The first number one song by Carpenters was (They Long to Be) Close to You in 1970. The group, which included brother Richard and sister Karen, went on to have between 3 and 5 number one songs, on various charts.
Carpenters had number one songs with Close To You, Top Of The World, and Please Mr. Postman on Cashbox, Billboard, and Tunecaster. Cashbox and Tunecaster also had We've Only Just Begun reaching number one. Cashbox alone had Yesterday Once More at number one.
"The greatest hit by Carpenters was Top Of The World, a 1973 number one song. Top Of The World was first made famous by Lynn Anderson as a country hit. Then, the previously recorded Carpenters version became the fourth top 20 hit off the album A Song For You," according to Tunecaster.

What is the top 10 song the Carpenters?
In US iTunes, "(They Long to Be) Close to You" is, as of 1/1/2008, their most downloaded song, and the 1991 remix is in 10th place. It is also the top song in UK, Australia, Italy, and France iTunes. In Germany it was third, but also sixth (from a different album). In Canada, it came after "Merry Christmas Darling," which was likely temporary. Also, Googling ["Close to You" Carpenters] gets over 1,000,000 hits, versus under 300,000 for ["Only Just Begun" Carpenters] or [Superstar Carpenters]. (Googling just [Close Carpenters] reduces that, for some reason, to 585,000.) They had other songs that reached #1 in the US, though not for four weeks, but this song was a big hit in many countries and seems, to answer the question, the song for which they are most remembered. Close to You, Please Mr. Postman, We've Only Just Begun, were all no. 1s. Superstar is considered very famous, because it was redone on American Idol.
