This can happen if the album was just imported but the scan process is still running. Can you confirm the scan process finished successfully?

[certuna]

Yeah this should only happen during the scan, afterwards the non-album artists are cleaned up and the links disappear.

#2583 fixes this by making all artists clickable, but isn't merged yet

[kobayashi90]

well then please merge it @deluan and make an 0.50.2 or something because i had to downgrade before ive got many errors while moving from 0.49.3 to 0.50.1 like the date formatting not being accepted (example: 10/09/2011) and others like musicbrainz id missing even tho the file doesnt had that tag to beginn with..

Ah i didnt seen this change for some reason but great that somebody already solved that problem.

These are just warnings to let you know there's something wrong with your tags. They are not something new in 0.50.1, it has always been like this, is just that you didn't noticed before :)

And as @certuna and I said, clicking on an artist without albums is only an issue while the full scan is happening. Once it finishes, all artists without albums should have their links removed.

Please confirm this is your case (scan still running)

This is not a bug, your tags have incorrectly formatted dates. Date tags should be in the ISO 8601 format 2011-09-10, see the tag specs.

10/09/2011 is impossible to parse since it could mean either 10 September or 9 October.

10/09/2011 is impossible to parse since it could mean either 10 September or 9 October.

Alright will ignore this error then.

Please confirm this is your case (scan still running)

After Scan it fixed itself but newly added albums show all artists being clickable as shown here.
Also here is what the logs say

Edit: Somehow after editing the Album again the clickable artist fixed itself, you should still fix this problem tho.

The "fix" will be importing all artists, as per @certuna's PR. Let's keep this issue open so other people can find it while the PR is not merged.

Any idea when this will be pushed to master?

The PR requires more testing and needs to be checked for conflicts with other ongoing implementations. This may take a couple of months or so.
