I have just confirmed with Facundo that the server does this
transparently. In other words, if the application sends artist+album and
7digital returns a failure for this, then the server automatically tries
again with just the artist.

So, if the application does this too, we are just wasting resources. The
correct behavior appears to be to always send artist+album. If that
doesn't return artwork, neither will artist+<empty>.

Title:
  Redundant requests for artist art

Status in Ubuntu Music App:
  In Progress
Status in thumbnailer package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'm seeing redundant requests in the thumbnailer for every artist. For
  example:

  thumbnailer-service: [00:33:58.397] "artist: Mamady Keïta/Afö (512,512): 5.732672 [q: 4.476239, d: 1.065771] sec (MISS)"
  thumbnailer-service: [00:33:58.439] "artist: Mamady Keïta/ (512,512): 5.774881 [q: 3.434976, d: 2.267816] sec (MISS)"

  thumbnailer-service: [00:33:56.041] "artist: Passport/ (512,512): 3.741614 [d: 3.681184] sec (MISS)"
  thumbnailer-service: [00:33:56.144] "artist: Passport/Passport to Paradise (512,512): 3.480054 [d: 3.446207] sec (MISS)"

  thumbnailer-service: [00:34:02.958] "artist: Pink Floyd/The Dark Side Of The Moon [2011 - Remaster] (512,512): 10.288417 [q: 6.923973, d: 3.262566] sec (MISS)"
  thumbnailer-service: [00:34:04.315] "artist: Pink Floyd/ (512,512): 11.646238 [q: 10.182878, d: 1.348939] sec (MISS)"

  For every artist, it appears that a request is sent for the artist
  with an empty album title, plus a request for the artist with an album
  title. This is not great because it results in two remote server
  accesses for each artist. This hammers the CPU and the network on the
  phone, as well as the server on dash.ubuntu.com.
