Thanks olympia, I've tested both and they work well I think.
I'll try to improve the matching logic a little but the best thing most people can do is start adding data, artwork, music videos and "loves" to the site. Then everyone will benefit from these scrapers.

Any idea why:
U2 - The Best of 1980-1990
Isn't scraping properly?
I checked the API and it returns a result. Maybe something to do with the - hyphen?

Also I noticed "Tiësto" does not match correctly.
The API appears to show the result fine, any idea why its not working?

"Tiësto" scrapes for me fine. Do you still have a problem with it?
Also, what exactly is wrong with "U2 - The Best of 1980-1990"?

I've added an Alternate name search to the API so searches for "Tiesto" should now work. "Tiësto" still wont work with this scraper though.
Still having problems with the hyphen in album searches though.

maybe the problem is with caps in the case of U2, having the same problem with scraping LEN... not a problem with the scraper.. the api isn't returning results for LEN

Still having a problem with hyphens in the album name. Another example is
Kraftwork - Trans-Europe Express
Doesn't return any results.

Correctly matched 1 of 24 music videos to its artist. Doesn't like dashes, searching "B.o.B." results in an "unable to connect to remote server" error.

@ legoman666, this is the artist scraper thread, not the music video thread.
