remove "album by ..." from column view when viewing as songs

"Album by artist" has suddenly appeared as the first column in my smart playlist when it wasn't there before and clicking view options there is no box to get rid of it. How could this have happened and how can I remove the column?

Mac mini, macOS 15.4

Click it.


As you click, it will cycle thru "Album," "Album by Artist," etc. Find one you like, or you can get rid of the whole column by using View Options.


Edit: By the way, in View Options, it is always called "Album" no matter what you have currently toggled it to.
