My guess here would be that, if you go to the
Albums header menu >
Customise Panel... and then click the
Show Settings button, you will have the 'fields displayed' set to Title and Artist - as in this screenshot:
Try removing the Artist field (set it to a blank). Then, for an album where Artist <> Album Artist, the artist is shown on the same line - as in this screenshot:
Hopefully this will better suit your layout.
