The supposed gymnastics being… an answer to a question that was asked. ATRLers are so predictable. Hate to break it to you, but musical iconicity and impact are not determined by chart weeks and commercial success propelled by stan streaming farms. 2

Let's not be dense. When are we defining "streaming era" as? Because Billboard didn't start including streaming in the BB200 until December 2014*, her first 5 albums (all present here) were M.I.A. from streaming until July 2017 *By which point, Taylor Swift and Fearless were already the 11th and 22nd longest-charting albums ever respectively.
