Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/392

Describe the bug
An update to youtube music has nested the albums and singles in a "Top Releases" row with a "see more" click through.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to any artist page (ex. https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCeKDV9JgivrXehVluw5bKFA)
  2. See "Top Releases" where "Albums" used to be.
  3. Click on "Top Releases" or "See More" and see the buttons to switch to "Albums" there

Additional context
Calling the "get_artist" function returns the Songs, Videos, and Related sections but not the "Top Releases"

Sure thing! Here's an example new artist page - with "Top Releases" instead of "Albums and Singles"

Did some digging and for me it's only an issue if I authenticate.

Yeah that would make sense, your account seems to be selected as part of their A/B testing. We'll have to wait for a broader rollout before we can implement it.

This update will require translating the string Top releases to all supported languages, as that's how the content is currently detected. See here:

Seems pretty experimental to me still. On my main account I'm now getting Discography for Ed Sheeran, with a More link to a new page with filters for Albums and Songs.

I'm not seeing Discography or Top releases anymore. Maybe the feature was cancelled? Are you seeing it still?
