Wow....she had 35 top forty hits, beginning with Who's Sorry Now in early 1958 and ending with be anything but be mine in mid 1964

Unfortunately, it is impossible to answer with any known measure of accuracy how many recordings has Connie Francis sold. Consider the following:
1. M-G-M Records (Connie's label) was not a member of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for part of the time Connie was under contract with M-G-M. Consequently, her record-sale figures are spotty, un-verifiable, and generally unreliable. Indeed, even some of M-G-M's own accounting figures are missing or at odds with other of their written records.
2. Connie recorded in several languages and in countries other than the U.S. Record releases were not always through M-G-M, but rather through M-G-M Records' divisions or companies in other countries, or by an independent entity that was not associated with M-G-M. Those releases might not have had the same sales reporting requirements or standards as in the U.S.
3. Related is the fact that some recordings released in other countries might not have been released in the U.S at all. In England, e.g., "Robot Man," was an almost immediate #2 hit, but it was not released in the U.S. until 36 years later, in 1996!
4. Now let us multiply. It is safe to say that countless compilations and re-issues, worldwide, have added countless sales to Ms. Francis' extraordinary career. Further, as Connie, herself, has noted: how does one count the pirated "sales?"
Close to 110 million albums sold worldwide.

Electric Light Orchestra sold over 50 million records.
Over Forty - Five (45) million records sold...
The Battlefield series has sold 17 million units as of 2008.
I suppose its possible that Kaitlyn is more commercially successful than Connie but not likely at least now. Income for neither is not published information. Connie has been performing and earning since late 2007, Kaitlyn since late 2008. Sales figures of recordings for Kaitlyn have not been published to date. Connie has sold 250,000+ recordings according to published figures and that is only for one year, 2007. Connie has made notable appearances in the US, Germany, Japan, Poland, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong, and China. Both little stars are still performing.
Pavarotti?

No, on the contrary. Only 5% of recordings sold are jazz so it can hardly be called popular.
Most likely Luciano Pavarotti.,
He was the first million pound player in England
Michael has released about 18 solo albums. All but one or two have received gold or platinum discs within a few months of their release and have kept selling afterwards. Gold discs are awarded for 100.000 sold albums and platinum for 300.000. Besides his solo albums he has released a lot of compilation albums and appear on a lot of cast recordings. I know he received a tripple platinum disc for the original cast recording of Les Misérables in 2001, which equals 900.000 sold albums(and that is 10 years ago - just imagine how many it's sold since) I think the last I've heard was that he's sold more than 5 million albums in the UK alone(not including the cast recordings).
