Your example character string is three characters long "space comma space".
So my first thought was ...
$trim(%ARTIST%,' ,')
... which removes space and comma from both sides of the given string.
Second thought was using a regular expression ...
$regexp(%ARTIST%,'\s\*,\s\*$',)
... which removes space and comma from the end of the string, if existing.
There might be other Mp3tag scripting solutions.

================================================================
PLEASE ! tell me where I put those commands. ie., (replace, regular expression, guess value....)
What I want is to remove the "," if it appears after the Artist Name:
from ARTIST: Madonna,
to ARTIST: Madonna

Yes, you can use an action "Guess values" too! Thanks for the hint.
Action "Guess values"
Source format: **%ARTIST%**
Guessing pattern: **%ARTIST%,**

 Hehe, Kimosavi, so much praise, maybe one of few, I do not know if I really deserve it.
