iTunes 7 Mysterious Album Artwork

I've been enjoying the fact that the new version of iTunes automatically downloads album art, but I am wondering what is up with this...

This is clearly not the album art. So am I being advertised to? If this is part of the "Best of 2005" collection, I suppose I would want to go to iTMS and download the rest of them? That was my first guess, but nothing in iTunes takes me to the "Best of" section of iTMS (if there is indeed such a section).

I'm not really too upset about this. I can't imagine how much bandwidth providing album art to millions of iTunes users represents, so if Apple needs to toss in an ad to pay for it, I guess that's okay. On the other hand, I have purchased 2 iPods to date and maybe a dozen albums from iTMS, so shouldn't they just thank me for my loyalty with better features?

The big question I have, though, is do I ever get to have the real album art?
