Number of songs in the Apple Music Feed

Hello,

I'm evaluating the Apple Music Feed dataset and I noticed that the total number of songs available in the feed is too small. As of today, the number of objects returned in each feed is:

  • 51,198,712 albums
  • 23,093,698 artists
  • 173,235,315 songs

This gives an average of 3.38 songs per album which is quite low. Also, iterating on the data I see that there are albums referencing songs that don't exist in the songs feed. I would like to know:

  • Is the feed data incomplete?
  • If so, in what situations an object may be missing from the feed?

Thank you in advance!
