Custom Taxonomy Not Linking To Custom Post Types Archive Page

Hi Everyone,

I am pretty new to WordPress but have been picking it up pretty well but I have hit a problem getting my custom taxonomy get_categories to link to the custom post type archive page.

I have generated the following code which pull out the links for the custom taxonomy and they display perfectly

<?php
//list terms in a given taxonomy using wp_list_categories (also useful as a widget if using a PHP Code plugin)

$taxonomy     = 'music_genre';
$orderby      = 'name';
$show_count   = 1;      // 1 for yes, 0 for no
$style = 'list';
$titleli = '';

$args = array(
  'taxonomy'     => $taxonomy,
  'orderby'      => $orderby,
  'show_count'   => $show_count,
  'style' =>  $style,
  'title_li' => $titleli
);
?>

The problem I have is that this taxonomy relates to a custom post type call artists for which I have created a custom archive page call archive-artist.php but when I click on any of the links it takes me back to the default archive page instead of the custom one.

The links generated are the following:

<ul>
<li class="cat-item cat-item-51">
<a title="View all posts filed under Rhythm and blues" href="https://wp_learning/index.php/music_genre/rhythm-and-blues/">Rhythm and blues</a>
(1)
</li>
<li class="cat-item cat-item-52">
<a title="View all posts filed under Soul blues" href="https://wp_learning/index.php/music_genre/soul-blues/">Soul blues</a>
(1)
</li>
<li class="cat-item cat-item-53">
<a title="View all posts filed under St. Louis blues" href="https://wp_learning/index.php/music_genre/st-louis-blues/">St. Louis blues</a>
(1)
</li>
</ul>

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
