handling of special characters in song/album/artist names #6

apostrophes in the programme are just omitted (similar to the dashes earlier) and should be spaces (or ig dashes is the best term). example used: https://genius.com/albums/The-venetia-fair/Every-sick-disgusting-thought-we-ve-got-in-our-brain screencap_7_57asas

this issue is actually annoyingly complex because Genius treats apostrophes inconsistently

As you can see here, the formatting for "Jack Stauber's Micropop" removes the apostrophe like how the program does image and same with the song "She's Homeless" by Crystal Waters image

and yet, like in your example, it is also treated as a "space". i can definitely still fix this but just wanted to point out another aspect of how annoying Genius is with the way they do their website lol

what i found so far:

Albums: Tally Hall : Good & Evil should be = "Good-evil". shows up as "Good--Evil" Begotten : ˂LOVE/LOATHE/LUST3 should be = "Love-loathe-lust3". shows up as "loveloathelust3" TWICE : Formula of Love: O+T=˂3 should be = "Formula-of-love-o-t-3". shows up as "formula-of-love-ot3" Aoba Ringo : Aoba Ringo - Rakuen no Tobira (Romanized) should be = "aoba-ringo-rakuen-no-tobira-romanized". shows up as "aoba-ringo---rakuen-no-tobira-romanized" Ceelo Green: F**k Yoou - Ep should be = "f-k-you-ep". shows up as "fk-you-ep"

songs: Coheed and Cambria : Ten Speed (of God's Blood & Burial) should be = "ten-speed-of-gods-blood-and-burial". shows up as "ten-speed-of-gods-blood--burial" Coheed and Cambria : The Lying Lies & Dirty Secrets of Miss Erica Court should be = "the-lying-lies-and-dirty-secrets-of-miss-erica-court". shows up as "the-lying-lies--dirty-secrets-of-miss-erica-court" Madcon : Me & My Brother should be = "me-and-my-brother". shows up as "me--my-brother" Madcon : Süda Süda should be = "suda-suda". shows up as "sda-sda"

*one that works but good to note is Tally Hall : & turns into -- but that is consistent between Genius and the app.
