The AllMusic 2021 Year In Review

Even if I don't like the collaborators as individuals, all collaboratively-recorded albums catch my eye because I'm curious about why the collaborators decided to collaborate.  In your latest newsletter, why does it credit the collaborators for Raise The Roof but not for The Marfa Tapes?  By the way, I suggest enabling the display of full titles (for long titles) when hovering over an album thumbnail.  Thanks.

The code we have to generate the artist names to put into the newsletter was originally built to just select one name for the purpose of saving space.

We've since realized that it usually isn't the best solution and usually manually add in the additional artists by hand (like in the case of the Robert Plant / Allison Krauss album).

We just accidentally missed doing it for the Marfa Tapes album.

We have a project to rewrite the newsletter code in 2022 and plan to add all contributors at the Primary Artist level when we do that.
