Is this one of those CDs where the main artist asks their friend to sing a song with them?
Such as, Slash's new album. Track 1 is "Slash Feat. Ian Astbury", track 2 is "Slash Feat. Ozzy Osbourne" and so on.
To fix this, select all the tracks on that album, right-click > Get Info, and say YES to changing multiple items.
Put "Slash" in the *Album Artist* field (for this example, of course).
Make sure it is the *Album Artist* field, not the plain Artist field.

As Katrina suggests, generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Thank you. It worked like a charm. I still have a couple hold-outs that don't want to combine. But it sure is better than it was.
Excellent!
On the holds out, you can select all the album tracks, right-click > get info.
Re-type the Album name. Sometimes one of the tracks may have a blank space at the end. You can't see it but itunes does and decides it's a separate album.
You can also try the trick of checking and unchecking the "Part of a Compilation" box as described here
Thank you. NOW I know how to do it and more to the point - why it happens.
