I really enjoyed this challenge, Angela, thank you.

I came up with a version that is slightly different by giving the user the option to choose between two playlists: one that covers the tracks with its original performers (- less tracks covered) and another one that does not (+ more tracks covered). My version is here.

I got this error please help!

spotipy.exceptions.SpotifyException: http status: 403, code:-1 -
You cannot create a playlist for another user., reason: None

Had the same error,
in:
playlist = sp.user_playlist_create(user=user_id, name=f"{date} Billboard 100", public=False)
I was using the "client_id" instead of the "user_id", make sure you are not mixing the two as well.

Thank you so much, that was issue.
