Yes, they are counted as different artists, but it makes little difference in the example you cited as long as ONE track on the album is correctly marked.

It might make a difference with eg Umbrella, if single-play listeners are split between Rihanna and Rihanna ft Jay-Z.

Oh indeed - but then listeners to this sort of music don't tend to listen to albums. In the week that Umbrella leaked, most of its listeners probably listened to no other Rihanna - but the Rihanna/Rihanna ft/feat Jay-Z split probably ensured that it never placed near this list :(

Not to mention Rhianna!

She's at #69 on this list - phwoar etc.

I doubt leaks register in the top 30, to be honest.
