Update, July 30, 2019 (02:00PM EST): Today, YouTube Music announced a change to handles artist channels and related subscriptions.
If an artist you follow has an Official Artist Channel and you're subscribed to their partner-provided or topic artist channel, you'll be automatically subscribed to their Official Artist Channel. Also, you'll get notifications from the Official Artist Channel.
That means your subscriptions to an artist's partner-provided or topic artist channel will be inactive. You can still search for the aforementioned channels, but you can no longer subscribe to them.

Seamless switching from music to music videos
July 18, 2019: Google is introducing a new toggle to seamlessly switch between listening to a song and watching its corresponding official music video.

As a nice bonus, YouTube Music skips over the intro of a music video for an uninterrupted listening experience.
