Description
On the artist page on SoundCloud is a popular tracks tab. It would be nice if we can achieve something similar with this API. By either calling a different endpoint to fetch top tracks, or by having a filter or sort to make the most popular ones appear at the top of the list.
The reason for wanting this feature is that it is useful for new artist discovery, similar to how Spotify does it as well. Being able to view an artists most popular tracks is useful to quickly gauge an artists style.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing artist track-fetching API entry point and its response behavior, then determine whether the requested result needs a dedicated endpoint or sorting/filtering. Done means the API consistently returns an artist’s most popular tracks in a documented, verifiable way.
