Original soundtracks

I have been reviewing my music library in iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I have been selecting artist and then looking at the albums I have for each. Artist are listed alphabetically, and I got through the "N's". When I started to review the "O's" there was a listing "original soundtracks", not an artist name. There were 62 albums in this listing. As I reviewed them, many were complete albums and some were a few songs from the album. The rest of the album was listed under the artist's name. Any ideas on why iTunes would file an album under original soundtracks when the album is not a soundtrack?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.3)

To get a clearer idea of what might be going on switch to the Songs view and enable the columns Album, Sort Album, Artist, Sort Artist, Album Artist, and Sort Album Artist side by side. Unfortunately you cannot see part of a compilation in this view, however seeing all of the values that relate to a particular album might enable you to see what is set incorrectly. Mashing together different primary values with a common sort value might be behind it.
