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!
