Yes, but your getting lost in the specifics, the point is without the lookup you cannot query ie. a direct query to either the Artist, or to the Album, or to the Track as Barry4679 wrote
In MM4:
#1: from any view or sub-node I could use the context menu GetInfo|Wikipedia, against any track
#2: and MM4 would create a targeted Wikipedia query, depending upon what tag you clicked ... ie. a direct query to either the Artist, or to the Album, or to the Track ... etc
In MM5:
#1.a the access is only available from the artist or the album detail page ... it has disappeared from the right click context menu at the track level, and from all the other views
#1.b and it is not direct ... I have to wait for MM5 to scrap and then summarise info from the Wikipedia page, just so that I can see|press the Continue Reading button, which then redoes the Internet lookup
#2 and it is not as specific ... ie. I just get the page for the Artist, or for the the Album ... ie. no direct lookup of the track ... example The Blind Owl compilation album by Alan Wilson (ex of Canned Heat) contains the track "Going Up the Country" ... MM4 will take me directly to the track ... but in MM5 I can't get there ... MM5 takes me to the artist, but I can't get to the entry for the track unless i know the album where it was originally released
#3 and it doesn't work as robustly as MM4 ... eg. MM5 provides no Wikipedia entry for the album Lost in Sound by Yusef Lateef, so I am stranded with nowhere to go, ie. no "continue reading" button, no lookup Wikipedia menu item, no nothing ... but MM4 takes me directly to here

Now That's... Music is complicated as there are several series with the same names. The American one also doesn't go past release 54 on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Now_That%27s_What_I_Call_Music!_discography#United_States and the original UK series seems to be lacking altogether: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Now_That%27s_What_I_Call_Music!_discography#United_Kingdom_and_Ireland
For the Grammy Nominees there aren't Album wiki's just a general series one.
