Values not storing in dictonary

[rtbr17]

def make_album(arist_name, album_title, album_tracks= ""):
	"""Album and arist"""
	album = {
	    'name' : 'arist_name',
	    'album_name' : 'album_title',
	    'tracks' : 'album_tracks',
	    }
	return album

print(make_album('Billy Joel', 'River of Dreams'))

info = make_album('Jimmy Johnson', 'How about them Cowboy\'s')
print(info)

info = make_album('Janet Jackson', 'Nasty Boy\'s')
print(info)

info = make_album('Rolling Stones', 'High Roller', '13')
print(info)

It is supposed to store the values in the dictionary and then print them. Here is the output I get.

Output:
{'name': 'arist_name', 'album_name': 'album_title', 'tracks': 'album_tracks'}
{'name': 'arist_name', 'album_name': 'album_title', 'tracks': 'album_tracks'}
{'name': 'arist_name', 'album_name': 'album_title', 'tracks': 'album_tracks'}
{'name': 'arist_name', 'album_name': 'album_title', 'tracks': 'album_tracks'}

You need to take the quotes off the values you are setting. Anything in quotes is a string literal. To access the value of the variable you need to remove the quotes.

def make_album(arist_name, album_title, album_tracks= ""):
    """Album and arist"""
    album = {
        'name' : arist_name,
        'album_name' : album_title,
        'tracks' : album_tracks,
        }
    return album

Note that artist should have two t's.
