Album Artwork not working for some songs

For all 1235 songs in my library, "Get Album Artwork" has worked (I know how to use this feature properly (Album Artist + Album Name)), but about over a dozen of the songs can't get the album artwork retrieved, such as:

(1) Maroon 5 - V

(2) Major Lazer - Peace Is The Mission

(3) Hilary Duff - Sparks

(4) Madeon - Adventure

These all are available on iTunes and for some reason can't get the artwork.... I'm on the latest version of iTunes. If anyone can help with this issue that would be great! Latest version of osx as well.

In some cases it doesn't work even if the album is available in the iTunes Store, and you have matched your metadata with that used by the store. You can usually locate the artwork with an image search and add it yourself. Aim for a 600x600 px square image or better.

thing is, that it just started recently, maybe after certain updates (not sure) since i didn't really notice until now. I just wanted to know if anyone found a fix, rather than an alternative. But thanks!

I'm looking for the same exact fix. I'm having the same problem with my album artwork as well. Would love for Apple to fix this problem or for someone to at least come up with a solution for this issue.
