Managed to get a contact and they replied saying they would look into the situation..
So there's a chance..

I don't know what Apple can do to help, as there's nothing wrong.

Retag it with the musicbrainz program called Picard.

Something a bit odd..

On the i tunes task bar it has selections .. Music..Album..Artists..Genres..Playlist ..Radio..Match..

If I select Album and select Dermot O'leary's album( which is the album I purchased) its all together if I select Playlist the song's purchased comes up up but the album is still altogether but if I press Music button the tracks are all scattered..
Now I dont know if that has anyting to to do with it or not I dint know?

If no joy I will look at that, because it had crossed my mind about looking for another program to use.

That's exactly how it works. If you view your tracks by Artist then obviously the compilation is going to be scattered.

To get the tracks together you:
1. You can create a playlist with just the compilation tracks, and play the album from this location.
2. Change the Artist name on the tracks so it is identical for all songs - change it to Dermot O'Leary or something. iTunes will then group the tracks like any other album.

Don't waste your time. As I said a while back, the tracks are tagged correctly!

Boon51 apologies. I always have the "music" option selected and then "Album". My instructions only apply if it is separating the tracks of a compilation album at this point which I have had numerous times. If it is on anything other than "Album" when this is happening then you're fine it is working correctly. I had totally forgotten that other people may not have it setup by album (I listen to entire albums nothing else..)
Redcard is correct if it is splitting it in any other place - compilation albums often have different artists so sorting by artist won't keep it together.
