Finalize dropped albums list with correct 8 albums and balance new albums

- Corrected dropped albums to exactly 8 albums through detailed comparison analysis
- Updated dropped albums list (ranks 501-508) with proper albums that were truly removed
- Fixed "New in 2023" markings to show only 8 albums (balancing the 8 dropped)
- Downloaded cover art for all 8 dropped albums
- Removed incorrect cover art files for albums that weren't actually dropped
- Updated data files with corrected artist/album name formatting for accurate matching
