Apple Music

Bizarre as in too low or too high? My 'minutes played' seemed highly overinflated but then the actual stream counts seemed super low.

My minutes seem lower than I expected other than my top few artists (who are only there because they were on loop nn).

The album play count is a mess. It's claiming I've listened to Taylor's Midnights 32 times which I haven't... I've given Anti-Hero a few streams and You're On Your Own Kid but that's about it. Same with Carly's The Loneliest Time, it's claiming I've listened to it 26 times when I've only ever done one all the way listen through. Charli's Crash is split into two and there's also a couple of singles in there from other artists?!
 
There's probably some very specific analytic that counts as 'album play' as opposed to 'track play'. Like, a track in a playlist is a track play, but if you've found the album, gone into it and played the same track that might count as an album play. Or something. I mean, as much as I love the Beyonce album, I haven't played the entire thing 180 times, but I can believe I have located the album in my library and played tracks from it that many times.

(Analytics are fascinating - I think if you have watched the first 3 minutes of a Netflix show, they count that as a watch, even if you turned if off at 3m 1s)
 
Because I stream in my library which isn't totally "matched" or saved from Apple directly, my numbers are way lower than Last.fm.
 
My top artist is Beyonce, top album is RENAISSANCE and top song is BREAK MY SOUL. In fact, my entire top 7 most played songs are from the album.

Beyonce really had me in a chokehold this year.
 
Does anyone have an issue when playing Rated R by Rihanna that Wait Your Turn starts with some weird abrupt screech before cutting off a few seconds before the song is actually finished?

Not sure if it’s Apple Music or iTunes Match causing the issue or the cd rip from way back when has messed up on my Match.

Mine is matched and plays fine. I also tried the Apple Music version and that plays fine too.

Maybe yours matched years ago to an older file that's corrupted on Apple's servers? It's worth removing it from your library and letting it match again.

Are you listening to the explicit version? The censored version seems fine on mine but the explicit version has messed up.
