Songs I didn't purchase showing up in iTunes via iCloud???

[Spicy McHaggis]

So I'm looking around in iTunes, and I discovered where I can go to download previous purchases made to my account onto my laptop.

I see a lot of the music I bought. But what's concerning me is there's a lot of music I did NOT purchase - nor would I ever have purchased it.

I count no less than THIRTY FOUR artists/songs that I have never even HEARD of. I know the songs aren't on any of the "compilation" or movie sound tracks.

Any thoughts? I was never charged for these songs...and again, I know I didn't purchase them - ever!

Thanks
Andy

Same thing just happened to me! These are artists I never heard of EVER and would never buy! I hope I don't get charged for this!

Yes, I had the same experience. I don't have iTunes Match, but there are several songs in the cloud that I didn't purchase. As far as I know, I have not been charged for them (I keep all my iTunes email receipts).

Songs I didn't buy are on my iPhone.

I never purchased them.. I've never heard of some of them. How do I get rid of them? They're not on iTunes! They've just appeared on my iPhone 5.
