Artist Photos Missing in iTunes 12.5.1

I've noticed a few artist photos are missing since upgrading to 12.5.1.  Any ideas on how to fix or refresh?  They are mainstream artists, nothing obscure.

I also noticed this. They used to show a grid of album art, now they are rainbow microphones except for one.

Why that one has a photo is a mystery to me. See attached.

After some digging around, I found out that the artist photo only shows up if you've purchased an album from that artist from the Apple Music store.

So in order for our library to not look like garbage, the music needs to come from Apple. A real shame.

When I look at my library, the missing artists are all from CDs I ripped.  However, there are a few artists that DO have artwork, though also from ripped CDs and have no other purchase from itunes.

I'm also missing a lot of my album covers.

Hi, Can you point out where this info comes from? I don't think it's correct. I have had these artist thumbnails on iOS for quite a while. On iOS almost all of my artists have this thumbnail from uploaded songs as well. I don't see how it would be any different on MacOS. I think maybe it's just a bug.

That's what i'm thinking

I'm seeing this in 12.5.1.21 on windows 8.1 as well for what it's worth.

As Ian noted, it seems like only artists that I've bought a track or album from have artwork displayed.

I rarely use that view, but I'm seeing the same, artist images for store purchased artists only, or so it would seem.

Same here. I wish they would just go back to the most recent album cover art for the Artist picture. That was great, then they started using promotional photos, which really made it difficult to browse quickly.

I'm having the same issue as well. 

This just *****. I've spent ages getting my library perfectly tagged with album art and everything, and now it looks like crap with all the ugly microphone icons. What's wrong with displaying the album art there..

Funny how a company with millions of employees and technicians cannot get the most simple things to work. Besides that, it's also very irritating.

Adding to some others in this thread, I´d like to state that this is not correct. I have many, many albums purchased through the AppStore, however most of them do not show any artist picture at all, just the placebo microphone placeholder. Likewise, some of the shown artist images relate to albums I already had and ripped to my library. So it has nothing to do with them being purchased from the AppStore or not methinks.

A shame really, and a huge step back from what it was before this update.

I'm also very disappointed by the new artists view. Those microphone icons are hideous.
