Hi!  
Indeed currently we select the first album appearance of the recording in question.

We’re working on [improvements to the automatic mapping](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/mbid-mapper-version-2-0-preview-has-finally-arrived/) that includes better album matching, but unfortunately the person behind the project has passed away unexpectedly.  
So while this improvement will be deployed this year we are not yet sure exactly when.
