If I don't commit or comment by Sunday morning please annoy me about it.

Submitted to CRAN. Forgot title case....of course. Should be accepted soon.

This may be a dumb question, but what is a reverse dependency and will this correct the error:
"Error: Failed to install 'spotifyr' from GitHub:
(converted from warning) package ‘genius’ is not available (for R version 4.0.0)"?

[JosiahParry]

this is my fault. Working to fix that right now. genius is currently in the CRAN gods' hands right now. In essence some of the functions inside of spotifyr require functions from genius. You can install genius with remotes::install_github("josiahparry/genius"). Then remotes::install_github("charlie86/spotifyr")

I was to able to install "genius" then "spotifyr" through these commands a few days back, just had to manually update the version of some other libraries which were not up to date.
When I tried installing genius, I kept getting the message: "package xxx is in version 0.1 it should be on 0.2", stuff like that. So I updated each one manually, installed genius and then installed spotifyr.
But I don't mean to complain, or anything, I'm just saying that there was/is a workaround :)
BTW, thanks for all your effort on this, Josiah and Charlie! I really appreciate the libraries and all the work you guys have put into them!

Thanks @rafabelokurows! I'm so sorry for the headache!

Update: genius has a dependency on tidyr which has a dep on ellipsis. ellipsis suddenly is failing builds on CRAN checks (see r-lib/ellipsis#33). Which means this will be delayed until above is addressed

[rafabelokurows]

that was no problem at all, @JosiahParry... I managed to install it just fine and now I'm playing around with some visualizations based on Foo Fighters songs 🎧🎸🤘🏻 hope the issue is resolved soon! :)

[JosiahParry]

reverse dependency build error from r-lib/ellipsis#33 has been solved. Resubmitting genius to CRAN.
