Bug Description
I've noticed that for a while the "Recent albums and playlists" section on the initial view remains empty.
I assume it's because of the fact that I haven't played a full album, but in any case, it provides for an unexpected experience. Perhaps we could populate it with the albums the single tracks that have been recently played are part of?
I.e. if I've played "song A", the list gets populated with "song A's album"

The way the recent list get's populated is if you click any track in an Album from the Albums tab (which adds the whole album to the queue) or you click on any track in a Playlist from the Playlists tab (which adds the whole playlist to the queue). We should be able to do the same for an artist's album once we have the album sheet working in the Artists tab. From tracks played from the song's tab this gets a little more difficult as only the first clicked song's album would be added to the recent list.
We probably need to think of a way to use what's actually played in the queue when adding to the recent list to fully cover all views being able to populate the recent list.
