If we're speaking about JPop icons, one of the biggest female, maybe even the biggest, is Hibari Misora. She made Enka music, but later also Kayokyoku, which is another older term for JPop. Hibari Misora wasn't just a singer, she is considered a cultural icon in Japan and even got the Medal of Honor.
She sold 68 million while living and up to the 21st century she apparently sold about 80 million records.
Her last song "Kawa no Nagare no Yo ni" is probably one of the most known songs ever. There are tributes to her every year, she has her own museum, and I bet pretty much everbody in Japan (still) knows her.
@ ayumisreal:
There was a Top 20 female soloist list done by a japanese TV channel some years ago and we also got the video here.
I still remember Kuu was at #18 and Hikki was pretty high, but that's all. Sadly I don't find it right now, but I can't even remember which show it was...
This list would be great for this thread. If somebody remembers or finds it, please post it.
