Here's how I got to the track names/artists but it's very dirty, I would love to clean it up

    top_tracks = sp.user_playlist('spotify', '5FJXhjdILmRA2z5bvz4nzf')
    top_tracks_data = top_tracks['tracks']
    tracks_items = top_tracks_data['items']

    song_names = []
    artist_names = []
    track_numbers = []
    for index, track in enumerate(tracks_items):
        track_names_data = track['track']
        track_name = track_names_data['name']
        song_names.append(track_name)
        track_numbers.append(index)
        print(track_name)

        artist_name_data = track_names_data['artists']
        for artist in artist_name_data:
            artist_name = artist['name']
            artist_names.append(artist_name)
            print(artist_name)

example a single track has multiple artist, hence when looping, number of artists is greater than number of tracks. Therefore, in case of a track with multiple artist, I want to concatenate the two/'three or more artist into one string, so that number of tracks = number of artist

Well, depends what you want the output to be really!

You could replace the inner loop with something like this:

artist_names.append(', '.join([a['name'] for a in track_names_data['artists']]))
