she must have sold alot if she has actived for 30 years like mr.Children, B'z, DVT or Southerr all star

As female solo artists only Ayu, Yumi Matsutoya, ZARD, and Utada have sold more. Whereof, only Yuming should be directly compared to. Acts who had their peak in 90s and later had an advantage. Sales were much better than 70s and 80s. Here below is a ranking, slightly outdated, but proves that she is definitely in the Top 30.
