she is very famous, she sells like no other artiest alive today. i dont think she will be as big as elvis because he is a man and people wont accept it.
However she is only 3 years into her career and has sold around 115million records, Madonna is the hishest selling female ever and has sold like 250-300mil in 30 years so Gaga is sure to be the highest selling female ever at the rate.
(im using the madonna example only in record sales, they are NOTHING alike)

Where is your source for this?

The Fame: 12million sold

The Fame Monster: 12million sold

Born This Way: 8million sold 

Singles from all 3 albums: 86 million Singles. 

these are from Interscope records and a Music tracking site who updates every year. Poker Face & Bad Romance have had 10million sold each alone, Born This Way (single) just hit 9million alone. its crazy what she sells

A single is not the same as an album

So, realistically she has sold 32 million albums and (maybe) the equivalent of 8 million albums in singles ... That is quite a bit short of 115 albums.
