i think it is Mariah, people say it is Madonna but Mariah in her day sold a lot of records mainly in the USA and she outsold Madonna in the late 90s, the reason why people are unsure is because both Mariah and Madonna have had large breaks from music and in those breaks no one really counted their sales

It's Madonna in terms of pure biggest selling female of all time.
Those saying Mariah think that because shes had the more chart success in USA. But Madonna has sold more and is better selling and had more hits at higher positions in every other country. From what I know 1. Madonna 2. Mariah Carey 3. Celine Dion Whitney I'd say was around 10thish |

In the US Mariah is a bigger force these days, but Madonna certainly has a huge presence outside the US.
