Similar to #1839

Eg. From Youtube homepage, click the Music channel on the left, then Play next to Top Tracks in the main body area.

With the last version you can run youtube-dl 'yttoplist:music:Top Tracks' to download the list. The direct url will not work because it depends on a cookie (the list id changes each time you enter youtube).
Thanks for the report!
