Unfortunately there isn't a global consensus on this as individual language groups have their own 'most popular' stories. What is popular in French maybe completely unknown in Chinese. And popularity is time dependent. What may have been very popular once maybe almost unknown today.

If durability of fame is any indication of popularity then in English I would say the top contenders would be:

Frankenstein
Dracula
The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde.

In french:

The Phantom of the Opera.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

In German:

The Damnation of Faust
