Significant amount of artists losing their countries of origin

A couple of weeks ago I've had about 90k listens from the US. Now it is only about 50k. About half of the bands have lost their respective country of origin. Tried clearing cache for a couple of days, and the issue persists.

I've seen some information on Last.fm Support Forums about this (https://support.last.fm/t/nu-metal-tag-artist-section-shrank/114603). One week ago I've added missing tags to artists that appeared without country. Now on last.fm I can see approved country tags but still, not a single change in Explr.

Update:

Some artists got their countries but majority still has no country. I think artists that got a country you can see it in their tag list in last.fm. I don't know for sure why majority don't appear but maybe one of the reasons is that the other tags are more popular so there is no room for a country's tag.

The issue continues to be very persistent and annoying unfortunately. Appears for a plethora of very well-known artists like Alice in Chains or TOOL even. Really messed up my filled-out map. Not sure what the fix is since it appears to be due to a change on the last.fm side.

It seems that more artists keep losing their countries, even The Beatles, Daniel Johnston and John Frusciante have lost their countries. This is a very annoying issue, since the map is very incomplete now...
