There's no MusicArtistThumbScraped record for "Marina And The Diamonds", only for "Marina". Marina has the correct MBID:

[ajs]

I think problem this:

14-May-2020 07:10:55 Debug [             Scraper]: MusicBrainz: Trying to find MusicBrainz ID for Artist: Marina And The Diamonds.
14-May-2020 07:10:55 Debug [             Scraper]: MusicBrainz: Extract ID: Empty

For Marina And The Diamonds

• MusicBrainz - no result
• TheAudioDB - Marina and the Diamonds - 7f3d82ee-3817-4367-9eec-f33a312247a1
• LastFM - Marina & the Diamonds - 7f3d82ee-3817-4367-9eec-f33a312247a1

For this reason, the order of providers has always been: TheAudioDB, LastFM, MusicBrainz
You have turned off other providers, so you do not have pictures for Marina And The Diamonds, something like this ...

You're right, this is the root cause!

The MusicBrainz search API uses "and" as operator. Hence the MBID search for artists with "and" in their name fails with the current query format

But I've found a solution! The MBID search on MusicBrainz works with the following format:
http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist/?query="Marina And The Diamonds"

Not working (current format):
http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist/?query=artist:"Marina And The Diamonds"

The "artist:" field name needs to be removed for "and" to work on artist searches.

And the & character in the artist name needs to be replaced by %26 (URL Encoding). Working examples:
Blank & Jones: http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist/?query="Blank %26 Jones"
Lexy & K-Paul: http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist/?query="Lexy %26 K-Paul"

The same applies to album (release group) searches, the & character needs to be replaced by %26 (URL Encoding). Working examples:
http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release-group/?query=artist:"Marina And The Diamonds" AND release:"Electra Heart"
http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release-group/?query=artist:"DJ Sakin %26 Friends" AND release:"Walk On Fire"
http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release-group/?query=artist:"Warlock" AND release:"Triumph And Agony"

Can we give this small change a try to further improve the MusicBrainz ID search?
You will keep on supporting you on enhanced testing against my huge music collection.

The "artist:" field name needs to be removed for "and" to work on artist searches.

And for Guns N'Roses to and for ... And for other options, therefore, it is necessary to return as it was, remove the artist: from the search for artists at all.

And the & character in the artist name needs to be replaced by %26 (URL Encoding).

With all requests, the necessary characters are converted (URL Encoding) through the system function.

Can we give this small change a try to further improve the MusicBrainz ID search?

I can remove artist: from artist search, all other already in FH ...

 

[ajs]

Well, removing this, we get more false positives.

I think better make request like this

http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist/?query=artist:"Marina And The Diamonds" OR alias:"Marina And The Diamonds"
http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist/?query=artist:"Guns N'Roses" OR alias:"Guns N'Roses"

 

[ajs]

And this search return correct result ...

http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist/?query=artist:"Marina & The Diamonds"

Because there are more questions than answers, can it be easier to spell the right tags in the music?
