To obtain the data I am going to use Beautiful Soup and a few other packages to scrap the content from the websites.

Steps for Getting the Data
- Get the Songs Made by the Artists
- Extract the List of Songs by the Artist
- Scrap the Lyrics for Each Song by the Artist
- Extract the Lyrics from Each File
- Scrap Rankings by Artists
- Parse the Song Rankings Files
The first step is getting the list of the songs by the artist. I am using the website http://www.azlyrics.com to obtain the list of songs and the lyrics for the songs.
