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

Another, Additional Answer:

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?"
