Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/488

From what I can see, this issue only happens when I view an album through the albums list on the library sidebar. The title bar of the table shows #, title, artist and length, but the content of the table doesn't have any artist, instead shows the length in artist column, leaving the last column empty. However, if I view the same albums through the artist's page, or from the search results, everything is fine.

It seems that when we open up an album table from the Library context, we are given a Full AlbumTableContext, instead of a Simplified one.

The Full context view does not show album artists, for some reason, but the Simplified one does

The `Full` context view [does not show album artists](https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/blob/master/src/ui/mod.rs#L568-L569), for some reason, but the `Simplified` one [does](https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/blob/master/src/ui/mod.rs#L542)

I looked very briefly into and started formulating a fix, but only had a few minutes before I had to put it down. After that initial poke, I admit this totally dropped out of my consciousness.

I can take a look at it sometime this week/weekend, if needed.
