Album artwork not downloading/showing in iTunes on purchased music

Lately I have noticed that on multiple music purchases that I've made, the album artwork does not get downloaded/displays in iTunes. I've tried several times to download the album artwork by triggering it manually, but keep getting the message that says "Could not get album artwork for some albums." Again, this is for music that I purchased through the iTunes Store. This seems to be an issue specific to iTunes, because the album artwork (for the same songs) automatically downloaded on my other devices (iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV).

MacBook, macOS 10.15

The provided solution is not what I expected. I know I can add my own images as album artwork - the questions is: why should I have to add my own images to albums that I have purchased through Apple? It’s like buying a CD at a store and not getting a case and having to buy the case separately - non-sense!
