iTunes Store purchases no longer come with album art in Catalina?!

So I just upgraded to Catalina recently. Tonight I bought 3 tracks from the iTunes Store in the Music app, and none of them came with album artwork! I tried using "Get album art", with no results. I have to manually Google album art to apply it to all my purchases from now on??

What in the world is going on at Apple? I could understand some hiccups in the iTunes -> Music transition, but we're a year in at this point. This is ridiculous.

I tried Doug's scripts, and they didn't work. It truly seems like the downloads just simply don't include the artwork.

Has anybody found a solution for this?

Ok, so it appears this is the solution: right click on the track, delete it from your library, which will hide it from your purchase history. Go to your account page in the iTunes Store and view your hidden purchases. Unhide them. Go back to your library and download them again.

This worked for me, hopefully it helps someone else. Pretty dumb.
