If not try:"$if($eql(%title%,'qwert'),%artist%,%album%)"

The original post said "is".  
Anyway:

"$ifgreater($strstr(%title%,'qwert'),0,yes,no)"

Note: Do not mix Filter syntax with Formatstring syntax.  
Try this formatstring ...

**TITLE \<== $if($neql($strstr(%TITLE%,'qwert'),0),%ARTIST%,%ALBUM%) ... or ... TITLE \<== $if($eql($strstr(%TITLE%,'qwert'),0),%ALBUM%,%ARTIST%) ... or ... TITLE \<== $ifgreater($strstr(%TITLE%,'qwert'),0,%ARTIST%,%ALBUM%)**
