Is this a valid issue and is anyone working on it? I am a student at the University of Michigan looking to contribute to an open source project for my upper-level software engineering class. |

@jgalp Funny enough, I am also in the same class, considering to contribute to this issue. If you decide not to take it, could you let me know? I don't want to steal it from you, but I would love to contribute if you choose to go with other github issues. |

Description
For some YouTube Music URLs, the value of
uploaderis"Various Artists - Topic"andartistisnull. This makes it impossible to determine the artist of a song using youtube-dl. I'm not sure why it ends up as "Various Artists" when there's only one artist.Logs
Here's the output of the command
youtube-dl --simulate --verbose --print-json "https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=MgNrAu2pzNs"Output
