Other countries like the UK understand this and do not count the top 2 album tracks in the album charts tally. The US needs to catch up.

UK shouldn't even count the top 2 tracks so that's bogus too.
The tea:
Streaming individual tracks should count for the hot 100 and singles charts.
individual tracks should not count for album sales.
It's double counting and assumption based.
Bruno, Katy, Taylor, Adele, Timberlake show it's possible to go multiplatinum with traditional hit songs and multiple singles and Beyonce shows it can be done with her ways but nonetheless it's not as if there aren't people still achieving multiplatinum status.
They are doing it and it can be done by others if they were smarter about their eras and learned a thing or two from the above stated artists.
My curiousity for a song now contributes to it eventually counting as an album unit when I would do the same thing on Youtube before and it didn't count?
That's how bad it's gotten.
Can't change things now.
