How get top tracks (cover, audio url and name) from a song using spotipy

getSpotifyTopTracks.py

"""
Yeah, I know its awful and should be a class, Maybe latter.

Anyway, it works like a charm :3

Gets the first result in query for artist (I ain't no will improve spotify algorithms) and from it gets the top tracks from this artist
If doesn't find the artist throws an empty list []
