Not FourFiveSeconds being one of the best selling singles of the year, yet ATRL deemed it a flop.

Like if I had an album actually sell 100k but streams had it equal to 1 million in sales would I go platinum? |
I think so. Isn't that what they did for Ariana Grande?

No. Ariana Grande's My Everything got Platinum under the regular system. Streams were not included, the RIAA has confirmed this. Ariana is just a case of overcertification. This also happened recently with Yeezus, which was certified Platinum, despite being well short of this sales threshold.
RIAA does not use streams to certify albums. This may change in the future though.

No. RIAA does not use streams for album certifications. It does for digital singles though.

Does anyone else find besides me find undercertifications almost as annoying as overcertifications? UF is just one of many songs I know of not getting its due right now.

I dunno! It's a high-profile example of over-certification still sometimes happening in the modern era. It used to happen a lot. Technically it should be a lot harder to do now, cos digital sales never overship and they provide real-time sales receipts, plus Nielsen Soundscan system provides more accurate data than the previous method.
I don't know how they made a mistake for her album. The RIAA did confirm though they didn't change their methodology to incorporate streams, because people were asking them due to this Plat cert unexpectedly coming out of nowhere.
