So If a single song, let’s say Perfect Illusion, sells ten copies on iTunes, then it is considered one whole album sale?

i'm not sure about this  but if you stream a song like PI 1500 times then that counts as a Joanne copie

A track equivalent album (TEA) is a term used to describe the sale of music downloads or singles. A track equivalent album is equal to 10 tracks, or 10 songs. TEAs became very important with the rise of the internet, as huge portions of music are now sold as single downloads rather than whole albums.

What so then what would one have to do to be considered a tea?

important point 

Streaming on the Hot 100 (and all all-format genre charts) will be more complexly calculated come 2018

Paid streaming (including "premium"/"paid" tiers on hybrid paid/ad-supporting services like Spotify) will be weighed more on the Hot 100 than ad-supported streaming (including "free" tiers on hybrid paid/ad-supporting services)

This means streams on Spotify Premium will carry more Hot 100 influence than Spotify Free streams as i said

This move will also affect the Billboard 200 obviously

However, the Billboard 200 will continue to NOT use YouTube streams and any other video streams (poor miss katherine )

I mean, that I get, which works because I technically didn’t purchase Joanne but I use Spotify premium and stream the **** out of that album (except for hey girls and sinners prayer for obvious reasons )

this is how I personally justify not buying the album lol

Why can't Billboard have a Top Streaming chart and keep the Hot 100/Top 200 based on physical sales and radio? We've seen multiple times people using streaming as a way to gain "sales". Tour bundles/discounts also need to go.

...so is Gaga in more danger than before or no???  

Her YouTube streams are so low compared to other female artists so that's a good thing. The other girls won't have the advantage of many YouTube views anymore

It's an iffy system though. It's like the popular vote vs electoral college. 

We've seen how streaming can give certain artists a #1 even though they don't actually sell well. Streaming only benefits the trending artists. I don't care if physical sales are low. Unless physical sales start showing 2K units sold for #1 albums, then that should be the main chart.

Kygo last album charted in the bb200 with 37 copies meanwhile madonna RHT dvd didn't chart for low streaming but sell 3k copies

Isn't this a good thing? This will prevent all these urban novelty songs from doing well because paid account streams will be weighted more.
