This is pretty much always caused by albums which are either

- missing an AlbumArtist tag
- have more than one name as AlbumArtist [Plex cannot deal with collaborations]
- are stored within the same [Artist folder](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200265296-adding-music-media-from-folders/) (i.e. stored on disk) than an album with a deviating AlbumArtist

The only cure is to remove both the misattributed albums _and_ those attributed to the other AlbumArtist and perform the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064).  
So, in your case, “dance” both Ella and Count – after ensuring that all the points above are avoided.
