It's true, I have every Hot 100 archived in files from a program, and a quick search shows he's charted every single week since he's ever debuted 6 and a half years ago.
I have no idea. I'm not even sure if they know. Even Nicki has fallen off the chart though, so it's crazy.
It does count, and Billboard agrees. You can stay mad over his success.
You can't compare a record like The Beatles and other artist who released tracks solely from them with someone whose half of their charted songs is features. Like think about it...

From the last 2 years, albums that got to a million within a year, weeks to a million:
1 Taylor’s 1989
9 Pentatonix’s That’s Christmas to Me
24 Guardians of the Galaxy
25 or 26 Drake’s If You’re Reading This (depending on how one counts the 11-day week)
26 Sam Smith’s In the Lonely Hour
33ish Ed’s X
38ish One Direction’s Four
38 or 39 J. Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive
41 or 42 Jason Aldean’s Old Boots New Dirt
48ish Maroon Five’s V
Adele will obviously be the 2nd female from the last 2 years (and 2nd album from this year), and also get over a million in a week like the other queen.
Interesting how rare it is now to get a million within 20 weeks.
Just to see, I believe Believe took 22 weeks. Midnight Memories took 5, though it seems to only have 7 weeks in the t10?

You can also add Beyoncé to the list as her last album was released in the last two years and took 3 weeks.

You can think another person who did less weeks charting and more weeks as lead artist is more impressive, yes, but at the end of the day, the record still counts even if you think him doing it was less impressive....

You have to understand my point. Back then songs were only able to chart if they were singles. These records cannot be compared.
You can stay mad over his success.
But honestly, I feel like it won't make it 
yas at Ex's and Oh's possibly going top 10
