• Files and entries are sorted by some sort of artist popularity.
• Each text file includee video ID's of 500 artists
• Overall, they are from approximately 10K artists.

• I used YouTube search API with the keywords of "{} official music video".format(artist_name). Hopefully these are more of official music videos with a professional quality rather than amateur ones.

• pytube
• Spotify API

• Due to the law, no further information/feature will be added either from Youtube or Spotify.
• Some more stats will be added, e.g., the number of artist.
