iphone 5 music - artists not showing up after i delete them and then add more music by them

So, on the "Artists" tab, on the iPhone 5, I deleted a few artists by swiping on the right and pressing delete.


Later, I added some music by those artists, sometimes the same music that I had deleted.


These new albums show up on the "Albums" tab, but not the "Artists" tab. It has nothing to do with ID3 or any of that--the tags are correct, they just don't appear in the "Artists" tab because I had previously deleted the artists there.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?


Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.


Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
