Description

When using the tracks api, I get unexpected results and I also see that the old api that could get the charts for the top songs of each genre is not in the current api reference. Is there a replacement? Some people on stackoverflow are suggesting html parsing but that can't be the current solution, right?

Determine whether a supported replacement exists and document the required API behavior or endpoint; done means users can obtain popular tracks or top charts for a genre without HTML parsing.
