Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/588

When using a YTMusic object authenticated with browser headers, a call to get_home() incorrectly fills the "year" key in an album with the artist name.

EXAMPLE:

ytmusic = YTMusic("headers.json")
print(json.dumps(ytmusic.get_home()))

RESULT:

[
  ...
  {
    "title": "Alexisonfire",
    "type": "Album",
    "year": "Alexisonfire",
    "artists": [
      {
        "id": "UC9gdUSsa_3TWMYou9nUIJPQ",
        "name": "Alexisonfire"
      }
    ],
    "browseId": "MPREb_TmfcXr7KaYu",
    "audioPlaylistId": null,
    "thumbnails": [
      {
        "url": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/TKcFRAFiGVfydrImrgdpZa_c_YqldAJFAU9OgxWrHublr7lV7tLpB-hDvmjKZuNngMgFDo675gSc2ePz-g=w226-h226-l90-rj",
        "width": 226,
        "height": 226
      },
      {
        "url": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/TKcFRAFiGVfydrImrgdpZa_c_YqldAJFAU9OgxWrHublr7lV7tLpB-hDvmjKZuNngMgFDo675gSc2ePz-g=w544-h544-l90-rj",
        "width": 544,
        "height": 544
      }
    ],
    "isExplicit": true
  },
  ...
]

As you can see above; "year": "Alexisonfire". This happens with every album included in the result.
I couldn't find the actual field for album's year in the raw json returned from youtube. Maybe it's not included in the response.

I included a partial result of the parsed response data returned by YTMusic.get_home() showcasing the issue. I just couldn't find the correct value ("2002") in the raw, unparsed JSON returned by the website. Not sure what else I should include.

Yes, you included a partial result. I'm asking for the full response data returned from the server.

You can get it by navigating there in the browser and grabbing it from the network request

A screenshot of your home page containing the problematic record would also be helpful
