For example, I'm pretty sure Jason Derulo has like 1m TEA points or whatever but his album sales are the pits and no one wants an entire Jason Derulo album.

They've literally always pulled these number tricks. That's how they used to claim (and still do) that the Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Elvis have sold over a billion records: they would convert album sales into single sales equivalents.
Really, it's not that complicated or serious though. Just decide which is the most important metric: the number of albums sold, the number of singles sold, the amount of records sold, or the amount of money made by the label.
Whenever you show them the receipts, they go like "NOOOOOOOO IMPACTTTT!!!11Q1!!!1"
