Building a playlist dictionary

With your new-found knowledge of dictionaries, you decide to translate your playlist from a list into a dictionary! As a reminder, this is the contents of playlist:

[1, "Blinding Lights", "The Weeknd", 2, "One Dance", "Drake", 
 3, "Uptown Funk", "Mark Ronson", 4, "Closer", "The Chainsmokers",
 5, "One Kiss", "Calvin Harris", 6, "Mr. Brightside", "The Killers"]

The song names start at the second index "Blinding Lights" and make up every third value afterward.

Artist names start at the third index "The Weeknd" and also make up every third value afterward.
